#8 Dunking - Vince Carter

One legendary dunk itself is enough to make Vince Carter the #1 Dunker Of All Time. A throwback to the 2000 Olympics. Team USA vs Team France. Gary Payton misses a layup. A Frenchman nabbed the rebound and tried a doofy no-look pass. Vince stole it at the three-point line, took 3 dribbles, gathered himself and then jumped over 7'2'' Frederic Weis. Nobody had jumped over a 7 footer before. Nobody has done it since. The Dunk was so nasty, The French gave it a name - "Le Dunk de la Mort" which translates to "The Dunk Of Death"

Vince Carter was called Half Man Half Amazing, Air Canada and Vinsanity for a reason. Wouldn't you love it if our guy had the same kind of bounce?
