    For a rookie to put Mutombo on a poster? Oh my God.

    These highlights and those jerseys, oh the nostalgia

    He’s gotta be the GOAT for hops. Maybe rookie year DRose too but can’t think of any others who even come close.

  4. VC really had all the physical attributes and skills to be one of the GOATs.

    He was just on another stratosphere as an athlete in his prime. He somehow had a second layer to his hang time…when it looked like he hit his apex, he popped up another couple inches mid air

    Probably the greatest nba dunker of all time

    I see we’re rolling out the Vince Carter propaganda train with no new games to talk about

    I ignore the haters. I’ve always loved Vince and his highlights. My inner child is always pleased lol

    Goddamn.

    I forgot how quick his first step was.

    Toronto fans will have the same thread for Scottie if Masai and Bobby fails to put a competitive team around him and he leaves.

    Vince was special and I hated him for leaving but our team was abysmal all those years

  11. He made watching basketball so fun. I never had the same type of excitement watching again even during our championship run. Could be nostalgia and being so young. How he left left a sour taste though so I’ll never buy his jersey, will applaud him when he gets his number retire.

    Also every in game dunk was more entertaining than any recent dunk contest

    A lot of you weren’t there and will never understand the feeling/energy

  14. We were so spoiled man. I didn’t realize how good we have it at the time.

    I will never get bored of watching the greatest dunker of all time. What a generational talent Vince was.

    I don’t know who slams harder, Onyx or Vince Carter?

  17. Lucky_Context

    Greatest dunker of all time. his dunks are aggressive and graceful at the same time. every dunk is art.

  18. pureluxss

    How he didn’t become an all time great still blows me away

    Toronto is a different place now, but boy when this man came up here he set the entire thing in motion, there is no GROAT Lowry without Vince.
    Demar, bosh, Scottie, all these dudes are names on other rosters without Vince. Kyle is our guy, but Vince is the true god of the 6.

  20. I remember putting on my brother’s shox as a kid thinking I could jump like Vince on my driveway playing ball. He will always be the reason why I grew up loving ball, spending endless time with my family watching the raps.

    crazy to think that Vince came into the league 25 years ago and we still haven’t seen a better or smoother dunker

  22. At his peak he was the most exciting player in the world.

    This highlight reel is super interesting because it shows the 3 different venues the Raptors called home that season (Maple Leaf Gardens and Skydome before the ACC opened in February).

    Vince could dunk but he had a style and grace and swag that you can’t quite describe, he had that flair from growing up as a musician and you can see it in his game
