Five of the Greatest Dunkers of All-Time…
…and if you’re rating them just on their ability to stuff it, Kobe’s the worst…

MJ always gets the middle
Charles Barkley, with a double burn on Vince Carter and Dwyane Wade. Carter and Wade were too busy writhing on the ground nursing phantom injuries to respond.
After 13 seasons in the NBA, Vince Carter has changed everything about himself.
He no longer wears the #15, now plays in the Western Conference, doesn’t dunk the ball and has completely given up on the concept of shaving.
It’s almost as if he has entered some kind of witness protection to hide him from the rather of Stan Van Gundy.

Just Vince Carter with an Ed Hardy shirt. Hate accordingly.
Vince Carter’s homeless beard now has substance. He’s started begging for change while on the court.
What if Dick Bavetta was assigned to referee Game Six of a series where Vince Carter’s team was trailing 3-2? On one side, you’ve got the NBA’s go-to official for extending a series. On the other side, you’ve got Vince Carter, the least reliable playoff performer of his era.
Bavetta would keep trying to call fouls, but Carter would keep taking outside shots, refusing to drive. When Bavetta did manage to blow a cheap whistle on Carter’s opponents, Vinsanity would use it as an excuse to fall down, grab his knee, and limp off to the locker room. Eventually the game would come down to Carter missing a fallaway three-pointer, followed by a bailout foul call from Bavetta, followed by Carter bricking the potential winning free throws. Followed by David Stern’s goons “disappearing” both of them after the game.

Are the Hawks a legitimate contender in the East? Not until they prove they can stop Vince Carter from getting to the basket - twice! - in the last 75 seconds of a close game. Normally, all it takes to keep Vince out of the paint is a glare from the opposing big man, or if someone simply whispers “Hard foul” into his ear. Maybe Beardo Vince Carter is a different breed of Vinsanity, but it’s more likely that the Hawks are seriously short on interior toughness.

In honor of Vince Carter’s championship-caliber injury milking, here’s a short film from last spring, called “Vince Carter Tries To Recycle A Plastic Bottle.”
Vince is in mid-season form already.

I’m feeling a bit nostalgic today so here is the best Vince Carter YouTube mix I have seen.
It’s unfortunate that “Half Man, Half Amazing” was stuck in the T-Dot for half his career. By the time he got to a team with any significant star power his love for the game, along with his soul, had withered away.
15 days left until the 2010-11 NBA season tips off. Brought to you by Vince Carter, the greatest dunker in NBA history.

Which of these bros will have the most efficient 2010-2011 season and why? Most likely to win the Larry O’Brien trophy?
Go.

I hope there’s a J.J. Redick contract offer sheet matching party at Vince Carter’s restaurant this weekend.
