One of the main things to understand is that he did them on THE FIRST ATTEMPTS
Not the third dunk, ESPN didn’t show him missing the first attempt on that one
@@Blakviet05 he missed the catch but not the dunk that's why it's different
@@Blakviet05 So
@@Blakviet05 Tracy threw a bad bounce pass. He didn't even attempt the dunk.
So did Gordon and Lavine (except 1)
so I'm here again after 2024 dunk contest.
Ya remember when only dunkers were in the dunk contest. Now we got jalen brown
so true
😂 same.. 2024 didnt give the satisfaction so back to carter
@@johnnydenmark6477 in today's contest though these are all meh dunks....These were groundbreaking dunks in 2000, but high schoolers do these in warm ups now 😂 nostalgia makes it seem like it's better than it was. The technical and creative standard is MUCH higher now for contestants. That's why it's harder. 2016 Gordon vs Lavine proves that. Those dunks were actually insane
it was incredible back then! A cant miss!
A lot of dunks you know are difficult but there is something different about vince’s dunks. They are beautiful...it’s like his execution and movement is so fluid and clean.
Indeed. He looks majestic dunking
The 2nd dunk was just the same as the first dunk..
@@kylein9869 it wasnt, he did a 180 windmill dunk off the bounce, you cant count more than 2-3 dunkers that can perform that dunk so clean and powerful like Vince did it in his FIRST try
@@dexteraguirre2814 Yes sir I concur
Fr bro it’s like there nothing wasted. Not a single inch of wasted movement or momentum. Crazy
0:16 Shaq’s face after the first dunk never gets old😂
Holding that old school camcorder lmao
@@jimmy22334 still looks so sexy till date
Every time I get tears 😂🙏🏼
Pogchamp lookin face 😂🤣😭😭😭
Imagine shaq doing that
The first dunk remains one of the most graceful and acrobatic dunks I've ever seen, a reverse 360 windmill
What a piece of work is a man and pooooowerrrr
Along with energy he brought with it afterwards.
The power
He would've done a 720 the final round if he needed to. Opponent messed up so he could've played it safe
This is art
That elbow in the rim dunk is legendary.
But did he do it over Shaq???
@@im2groovy no he didn't push off over Shaq.. but the one over Shaq was still impressive but nothing like the original
yup........... my face was just like steve francis'............ i had to think about for a second what he just did.
actually, kobe did it before him. but in some off season event in 1998. Back in the days the media and internet wasnt that popular like nowadays. So videos and news were not spread out well
@@charlieqq123 Yes, that is correct. Kobe did it in 1997, but off one leg if I remember right (or with a left-right plant, not sure which). Vince also heard about the honey dip dunk from Jameel Pugh, a few months earlier.
The elbow in the rim dunk is special and seeing everyone’s reaction makes it so much better 💯
Streetball street volume games. Too legendary
At the time nobody knew what he actually did till the replay
@@TheTonytone77 and that’s why it makes it better. They were stunned.
Honey Dip
Cookie Jar
The ferocity of the first dunk reverberates still even today!!!
This was 20 years ago. The man is still PLAYING 😳
Vince been in the NBA longer than I’ve been alive lmaoo
Not only is he playing, he is still doing windmill dunks.
Trae Young was still in diapers and pissing on himself when Vince was doing this. 20 years later Trae never grew anymore hair from that day.
The only legend on the floor remaining from golden days of NBA...
I remember when played for north Carolina
Best dunker of all time
N2 Cat Crew Dominique Wilkins the best
sex machine nah bru aint nobody got sauce like vc.
Wilkins was awesome but no one compares to Half Man-Half Amazing.
Docter j was good, but I have to agree that Vince Carter is the dunking goat
Dominique Wilkins BEST Ever!
“Let’s go home! It’s over ladies and gentleman!” 🤣
Man these dunks are cleaner and more powerful even after 24 years.
TELL SHAQ WE WANT THE FILM HE TOOK THAT DAY FROM THE CAMERA💯💯
Legend has it that he forgot to press "record."
Shaq says he lost it in a interview
@@fatherleo4603LOL
How bout kg
@@dizzy.m2 it is in the "different angles video"
There’s just something about the first dunk that gets me every time. For me, the greatest dunk of all time.
It's his body control. Jordan-esque
Mee too bro.. its like every dunker can do that dunk now but Vince's just look too preety too smooth i dont know what it is.
Also the bounce after he did it was legendary
The dunk has "grace" written all over it!
@@brianfoushee3382 Yes, and Dean Smith held VC back too.
Every time the dunk contest disappoints I come right here 😂
2024 - same
Same
What makes this even more impressive is the fact that he did all these dunks on the FIRST ATTEMPT! Legendary
This man singlehandedly revived the dunk contest
Literally
Facts
23 years later..Mac McClung saves the dunk contest. History repeats itself
Exactly!!!!
Absolutely
Kevin Garnett's reaction to the first dunk is priceless. Shaq's too.
KG was like "is that possible?" 🤣
EaZy.DoesIt.90 facts 😂😂 chain all messed up
bruce waynes reaction too
I think vc and kg got in a fight before
👁👄👁
He was too good, my favorite dunker of all time. You have seen people recreating his reverse 360 windmill but no one looked as good as him. His arm was fully extended
his dunking is so fierce ....u have to rewatch this every year ...watch how he bounce back after he dunk ..crazy energy
Agree, he looks like he got springs on his knees.
That and the third and fifth dunks when he just stops without making a second step.
Vince Carter is the greatest dunker in NBA history
I disagree with you
@@philipgeorge7542 who is it then?
@@philipgeorge7542 who you got?
Jan-Michael Vincent Klay Thompson
(I’m jk) 😂
@@cjthegreat8447 Tom Brady LOL
After 9 yrs that dude still saying "let's go home"
You mean 19yrs
@@fortunecollector but... does anyone really go home after that?
21
Or 22
Mihajlo Je it’s from 2000 slam dunk, and it’s now 2020. That’s 20 years. Where did you get 21-22 from lmaoo smh
That goddam REVERSE 360° !!! 🔥🔥
After that first dunk, everybody in that stadium and watching the broadcast knew it was over. Probably the sickest in contest dunk + energy reaction combo I've ever seen. The camerawork makes it even more legendary
I love how they had to take a min to realized what just happened when he put his arm in the rim lol
That’s what I’m saying😂 they didn’t even react everyone was jus so in shock
Forreal, fans and his own peers professional nba players, were really tryna process what they just seen 🤯
That's what made it amazing...because when i saw it live i didn't understand what happened lol...it made you think. Automatic 50
I remember watching it live on tv, i also had no clue what had happened at first :D The replay got everyone in disbelief lol
When his elbow went through the rim, the audience didnt even react because they didnt understand what happened. Goat
The dunk where he put his arm through the rim reaction was my favorite 😂. Jus look at everyone faces, they didn’t even kno what they saw
yeah that reverse windmill gave me chills. he legitimately set the precedent for decades to come of what a dunk contest performance should be like.
Others: It's over.
D.Wade: well, that's a 9.
黃耀正 很幽默喔
Don’t remind me
Only because the first one is so good that he didn't want to overshadowed it
😂
D Wade wasn't even in the league yet, it was Kenny Smith
"I done stuck my whole arm in the rim, Vince Carter"
These dunks were so legendary that they are getting referenced in popular culture 20 years later
Moss Linden exactly
It's not stuck my whole arm its put my whole arm
DevinWhoGames what a big difference
@@zanenegash7819 but still at least know the song if you gonna comment it
Ayeee the box RR..
That was the best slam dunk contest.
2016 was better
@@iamgoinghome YEEESSS!
one of the most memorable nights in the history of sports.
NBA brought the dunk contest back for this guy. #LetsGoHome
Here is your 300th like, and first reply. 😁👍
this was TWENTY years ago!!
Imagine all that pressure and easily exceeding expectations that night!🐐
For my money especially as a 12 year old witnessing this live in February of 2000... This was the single greatest performance in NBA Slam Dunk history. Not to mention T-Mac and Steve Francis showed out that night as well.
Facts bro. I remember laying on the floor. And turning to it that day. I was 11 years old. And I was blown away. I did not think 18 years later. This would be legendary. I was just living for the moment
Stackhouse was also in that contest. Thats what it should be about, your brightest stars competing, not a bunch of rookies.
Vince Carter is a special talent and is missed. A great decade of basketball. The modern day NBA drop off is sad for basketball lovers.
What drop-off? 1. I’d argue that this NBA is more fun due to the fact that there’s more competition and almost 1/3rd of the league’s teams are title contenders, 2. There’s clearly a larger pool of talent than in the 2000s, if you’re talking about the dunk contest it makes since, this year sucked and VC was great, but to say there’s been a decline in the NBA’s quality is incredibly myopic.
@@historygiraffe7488 cringe
@@omegamanGXE your dad, m8
@@historygiraffe7488is there more competition? Sad..
Bro I miss Vince and the electricity that he brings to the league, but drop off? Tf are you even watching, bro we got an absolutely amazing season ahead of us and some of the best basketball ever being played. The kings are exciting with the beam team, the Nuggets are modern basketball perfection, the Pelicans look fuckin nasty with Zion, Literally half of the league could potentially contend for the title or at least make a deep playoff run. Ain't no drop off here, this is some of the best hoops we've had in years and it only looks to get better man.
I remember watching this live and I couldn't believe what I witnessed. I often come back here just to relive that moment again
It was a great night. Saw it live in a bar and everyone was caught up in the moment. Vince was all amazing
Vince Carter first dunk and third dunk had everybody shooked
@Kingston few he might've had the best dunk but overall his dunks weren't as good. He still deserved the win though which was bull.
Kingston few was it more difficult ? Of course but if we talking about elegance with power none tops Vince
@@qcthesxientist na Gordon's dunks were better, but prime vince could only go with what was thought possible at the time, if you get prime wilkins, mj and vince in this era they'd be able imo to do all these dunks, at least most of them
@Kingston few Gordon's dunks were better because of the era. If you go at the dunk contest, you ought to do dunks no one has ever seen before that time, or at least do a difficult one that only selected few could.
Aaron did great ones because of the past competitors setting the bar every year.
@Kingston few But Carter was the most innovating dunker in that era. The actual dunkers been inspired in Vince Carter style.
This guy is the reason a lot of people including myself started watching basketball. Led the all star voting 3 times in a league that had kobe, shaq, iverson and old jordan
4x
Led 4 times. But led 3 consecutive times in a row .
@J P he didn't say he voted him for the all star, he only said he started watching basketball because of Vince carter
That's because all of Canada only had two basketball teams, who else are they gonna vote for other than Air Carter and Tmac, and maybe Steve Nash?
@InvictuZ name other raptors or canadian who leads the allstar voting.
I remember watching this live when I was 16. 22 years later...and it’s still over. 🙅🏾♀️
Those reactions on the elbow rim dunk wasn't amazement, it was disbelief that a human could actually do that
I want Kenny Smith to be shouting ‘Let’s go home’ after my wedding 😂
1:57 the first ever mind melter dunk.
The kind of dunk that was so epic.. everyone was mind blown and confused at the same time
I remember watchin this live on tv and it still hits the same 22 yrs later.
2:05 Steve Francis face perfectly sums up everyone's reaction to seeing that dunk for the 1st time
Lol....RIGHT@@
that first dunk is just perfect.,,, style, power, the finish, the way ball shot through the net.... it's just too beautiful.
Best dunk competition of all time! Steve Francis dunks were INCREDIBLE!! What's awesome is mostly everyone made the dunks THE FIRST TIME too.
TMac did great too, some of his dunks were top notch.
@@Stormtrooper-fv7dr not good enough to win though
@@patricialucero1767 I mean, yeah, against the best perfomance on SDC ever, no wonder
TMac and Ricky Davis did their thing too along w Vince and Stevie Franchise. I remember Davis did a reverse dunk where he cradled it under both legs.
Gordon vs. Lavine is unquestionably the best ever
21 years later this still send chills down my spine.
Best dunker of all time Vince Carter 👍🏾
My mind is still blown from that dunk contest all these years later
Michael Keaton reaction hahaha priceless
its still the best one
the dunk contest suffered for many years after this
nothing close to as good
It's just one of those things in life that you always revisit. Thank you, Vince, for all the years!
After watching this years dunk contest, I had to remind myself what greatness was
Man watching this for 10th time. I Always get goosebumps watching it. Legend Carter 🙏
We also need to pay respect to T-Mac's & Steve Francis' performance. They were also spectacular. Making Vince's dunks even more impressive.
When you can get that reaction out of Batman, you've done something spectacular.
I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS LIVE & CROWD WENT CRAZY,,,,,WHEN YOU SEE IT IN SLO MO,,,,,,MIND BOGGLING!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯
The first dunk and the reaction he gets,
It gives me goosebumps!
2:03 the reaction are epic everyone is in shock
Killa queen
@@klakli8516 bite za dusto
whos the guy with the yellow hat and glasses
It's amazing when the best in the game are shaken by what Carter can do. They're just like us in the crowd
@@bliz-8410 Michael Keaton...he played Batman in the 1988 Tim Burton version and sequel
he is still playing in NBA. Only man to play in four decades in NBA !!! 1990,2000,2010,2020
why you saying this as if you just found out about him 😂
@@WaffleSauze you are my son
that first dunk is probably my favorite dunk of all time
it looks and feels powerful and forceful
three dribbles
360 that leads to a tomahawk
then after he lands he just jumps casually in excitement
“It’s over, it’s over ladies and gentlemen” one of the greatest commentator quotes ever
i mean 19 years later, and that performance still wins every single dunk contest till now.. jesus what a show
idk man, gordon and lavine dunk-off in 2016 was lit af.
@@ntvinh20 well i gotta admit, that's true
Aaron Gordon's chair dunk unseated vince imo.
Jakub Kula gordon's performance was the most jaw dropping without taking anything away from zack. But we all know 2016 was the best dunk competition and Gordon got robbed.
Zach & AG neck n neck
0:46 Kevin Garnett with the OG camcorder.
chancy319 dang iPhones were big back in the day
KG a legend 😂
The first round had everybody hype, but when he stuck his arm in the rim, ppls brains couldn’t process what just happened. They almost looked scared or concerned.
At 1:59, the disbelief on their faces. After the 90’s. This guy singlehandedly brought back the dunk contest.
Best dunker ever Vince Carter
Best Contest and in game Dunker EVER!!!
Man, he did not grow old. He grew young over the years. Where the amazing happens.
I’ve watched this so many times, gets better every time
Elbow dunk had grown men giggling like little schoolgirls. I remember this contest vividly. It was shocking. Things no one ever seen before.
The Gordon/Lavine dunkoff made me smile because they did Vince’s 2000 performance justice.
That first dunk is the greatest dunk ever!!
That first dunk though. I don't know why but there something in it like Art or something. The art of elevation. 😊😊😊
Hands down my favorite dunk in the dunk contest kids were talking about that dunk the next day in school
"Over... It's over!.."
Classic!
Vince's first dunk maybe the best dunk I've ever seen. How he did that in a pressure situation shows the greatness of his dunking. The dunk is like art. The beauty and power is a sight to behold. The GOAT.
Best dunk I've ever seen and it's not close
This is with no doubt the best dunk contest. The dunks, the reactions and the commentary are just legendary
Lmao none of them dunks would get a 50 now
@@Gofroze exactly so mid lmao carter so overhyped it’s ridiculous
@@joncantrellvlogs5756 If we didn't make progress over 23 years since then it would've been embarrassing. It's not overhyped if you force a permanent change in the conversation and set the standard.
@@joncantrellvlogs5756it was so hype because normal people can’t dunk like that. I bet you can’t even do a 360 windmill.
Lavine vs Gordon is way better.
Lavine in 2015 was also better.
I Remember this like it was yesterday forever a Classic
Shaq’s reaction was priceless
Could u imagine Vince carter Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins in a dunk contest that’d be amazing
The reaction after the elbow dunk is the best reaction of all time. Most players go wild for great dunks, walkin around hollerin.. a stunned reaction from NBA all stars is a once-in-20years reaction.
I was a 4 year old Toronto kid when I first saw this. The amount of inspiration this man gave to the youth of this city was incredible.
I was there. Amazing. Won a Sony discman that night as well lol. Entire section won one.
This is where I got my name from couldn't have been more honored
Vince slammed the ball so hard on the first dunk it hit the floor before he landed. And he didn't even try to hang on the rim.
Kenny Smith's "Let's go home! Let's go home ladies & gentlemen!" and "It's over! It's over ladies & gentlemen!" are also legendary because of this guy
Just announced his retirement had to come back and watch this gem
Till this day I haven’t seen a windmill or 360 as elegant and powerful as Vince . Best dunker to ever touch a ball and imagine with today training and diet smh
I come back and watch this almost every year ❤
0:25 when you just realized that you're not the main character
2000 : A Raptor wins NBA Slam Dunk Contest
2019 : Raptors win NBA Title
Both in OAKLAND
Seemed like everybody was wearing Vince’s jersey after this dunk contest. That was amazing to watch!!!
It’s so cool seeing all the camera flashes in the background when he dunks. Before people had iPhones and everybody had a disposable camera
I still come back to this. Vince just had a different swag to him when dunked the ball, the way he jumped and contoured his body was like no one else in the dunk contest
2:05 The face you make when you've just realized you had no shot of winning the dunk contest.
Remember watching this live as a 10 year old at like 4am in Europe, legendary stuff.
To me personally, this is where the Dunk Contest peaked. Still remember watching this at 17 and about to graduate High School. Was like a littke kid. Had Sunny D and Flipz Chocolate covered pretzels ready because I knew VC wasgonna put on a show. 1st Dunk............. contest was over. But you didn't care because you wanted to see more. Wasnt the biggest VC fan as a overall player but the thing he was most famous for, he delivered in spades. And especially that night. Afterwards it was a steep decline. Griffin jumping over a Kia was the Valley. 2016 breathed life into the event then it declined again, but to me this was the contest at its highest peak
I never watched NBA dunk contests after this. VC was insane! Props for bringing this back!
Michael Keatons reaction is priceless
This is the most hype and perfect sports spectacle I’ve ever seen
Needed this after tonight
I still get goosebumps from watching this video! 😳🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏾💯
