Vinsanity Turns Back The Clock In Dunk Showcase

Posted Feb 12, 2016
It's been 16 years since Vince Carter won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. The man once known as "Air Canada" is now 39 years old, toiling away in Memphis for 4.1 points per game in just 13.3 minutes played. On Wednesday, for a brief-but-tingling moment, "Vinsanity" returned. Against the Nets, his second NBA franchise, Carter dropped 11 points in 21 minutes. Four of those dunks came in the form of early 2000s Carter dunks. (The Post Game)
