Vince Carter responds to idea of being in 2017 Dunk Contest

[fourkicks44]

Would be awsome. Yeah definitely would be a story of the year. Inspiration for us other males in their 30's.

Maybe then Lebron would be more inclined to enter.......

Never know. Some of the real freaks don't age like normal people. Doctor J was comfortably dunking from the FT line in 1985...and he was 35.

Please make this happen, he probably won't win it but it'll absolutely interesting to see what he has left.

[theaussieguy]

Funny enough, I think he measured in at 6'8.75" with shoes on, so with his standing reach also being 8'11," he's a legit 6'9. LeBron is 6'8."

WTF thats insane, 44 inch vert too. Insane potential.

Clearly no one in this thread has ever dunked a basketball. Vince can WIN this on creativity alone..

Im not quite as old as him, but I can still do 360s and never played a minute of organized basketball in my life. You dont lose athleticism in your 30s you lose the ability to recover the next day. He can very welll win at 38 just like Kobe scored 60 at the same age.

He will be 40 at the Allstar game.

70% of the NBA can do a 360, he needs to compete with those Aaron Gordon dunks.

He can't do that, but it would be nostalgic and he would win just for a good time. If he doesn't get injured in the warm up.

dude is 40 years old

You absolutely lose athleticism in your 30s.

Amazing he still has hops like that , man the guy is in great shape.

All I can say about him , is he's become a better bench role player than 99% of the players that started , and had to go to the bench .

Perfect example of a player extending his career and making a difference.
I vote him in as a HOF'er just for that reason.

I need a vid on that ....

All I remember he played SG because he lost 2 steps and no hops.

This proves what? A 6'6" guy at 37 catching a lob is completely different from competing in a dunk contest against 22 year olds. There are levels to athleticism.

He was 34 or 35 in all of these:






And he was still dunking at 63.

[Vancouver-Grizz]

Epic if he brings TMAC as his assist man.
