Vince is slept on as far as his all-around ability. Dude could do anything on the floor and his game was so sick in the Nets days. DEEP Deep 3's, 2nd most game winners behind kobe.
Raptors don't have any retired jerseys. And considering Vince left Toronto for Nets maybe he should not even get that jersey but definitely not before captain Lowry.
I was living in Toronto during Vince's rookie season, and was fortunate enough to see Vince play in person around 20 times over the next couple seasons. The excitement he brought to the franchise was unmatched. Vince was the most popular player in the NBA, over Kobe, Shaq, Duncan, KG, etc. That era made me a Raptors fan for life. You can take Vince's top 100 dunks out of the highlight reel, show numbers 101-200 and it's still the best top 100 dunks of anyone! The thing with Vince's dunks is it wasn't just quality, it was quantity. He was windmilling all over the place, every game, on everyone. Except maybe Shaq. I'm in favor of retiring the number. But, fan favorites Jorge Garbajosa and Amir Johnson also wore #15 for the Raptors. Amir especially gets an honorable mention. He was key during the Kyle and DeMar years, a winner and a plus minus leader, and helped establish a culture that ultimately led to the championship.
I lived in and around toronto during the same time period. Shame they way the new teams were treated back then. If we had all these new rules and salary things things could have been way different for all the stars we drafted and then eventually lost. Vince, tmac, chris bosch are some of the earlier ones i remember that this happened to
@@shivx1 TMac was the heartbreaker for me. When Vince was traded the team was no good, and it seemed clear to me he was on the way out since at least the end of the previous season. I wasn't happy with the trade package, and how it played out, but it wasn't like him staying would have made the Raptors good. With Bosh, it seemed that the Raptors were going to be a middling team unless they got a free agent. It was a long shot for that team to be much better than it was. With TMac it looked like the Raptors had a championship future with him and Vince on the wings. Also, the most exciting, entertaining team in basketball. Such a shame when he left for Orlando! Grant Hill got hurt, and it didn't really work out for him there in terms of team success. I still think he should have stuck around. The nonsense going around that he and Vince couldn't figure it out was BS.
@@ywtcc i'll say this, vince gave it all for us for as long as he could, and those early days must have SUCKED for him. Can't remember if mighty mouse was still around at that time
Vince's forearm hanging dunk is the only dunk I ever watched that was so impressive it made the crowd speechless. Like it took them a moment to process what they just saw before the ooohhhs and cheers came in.
I was actually watching that game live when Vince did that behind the back, dribble too, and went straight at Zo. Man, I jumped up off my bed in amazement. In the streets, we call that murder 🤣🤣🤣.
GOAT dunker. As a Raptors fan watching VC from his rookie year, you never knew what awesome dunks he was gonna pull off game to game. VC made Raptors basketball much watch tv for that reason alone. As a Raptors fan from day 1 of the franchises existence I'm super excited to see Vince go into the Hall Of Fame as a Raptor.
There are other NBA players with a higher vertical than Vince but what sets him apart is his creativity. He just doesn't go straight up and slam it every chance he gets. The degree of difficulty of some of his highlight finishes are off the charts. My first exposure with him was during his rookie year against the pacers. Drove baseline against Chris Mullin, then finished with the reverse double pump on the opposite side. I just lost it after I saw him do that dunk.
@@Justsomedude64 MJ did not have a 48 inch, that's a myth. More like low 40s Vince had like a 42 inch. As for higher than Vince, there's Gerald Green, Ja Morant, Zion Williamson before he got injured, Zach Lavine, Derrick Jones Jr maybe, James White, DJ Stephens...and prob a few more.
Shawn Kemp and Vince the 2 best pure athletes in basketball.Kemp was so scary mj would run out the way in the finals.Dude posterized anyone that dared.
@@gregoryharlston0602yep, I’ve never seen someone do poster, dunks, writing someone’s face, while simultaneously double pumping the ball like he used to do.
@@hkl4567 Kemp was just a taller version of Nique. Wilkins more than belongs in the conversation. Dude was the best dunker of his era. Most had him or Dr J as the greatest dunker all-time followed by Jordan before Vince Carter took the 👑. Kemp was always in most people top 5.
Rasheed Wallace Should Be In The Hall OF Fame. No disrespect To Kevin Garnett, Chris Webber, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki. But he use to go at you all and defeated you all. Can't take away Rasheed Wallace skilled. He was dominant in his PF position. All because the Refs situations and he proved to the world that them Refs was dirty calling out fix games. Stop It NBA. Let's Get Rasheed Wallace In The Hall OF Fame! 🏢🏀🙌🏿
Man, the UNC guys feel like family to me having grown up in Durham. Especially Sheed since he coached high school there and I saw his mom all the time when I worked at the airport.
Vince had a huge advantage. Long arms, big hands and to top it off, hops. I think he could have the possibility to do even more creative dunks given what I just stated.
I would have loved to see Vince vs Dominique in a dunk contest in Madison Square Garden for all the marbles! I’m so torn about who is the greatest dunker between the two. Deep down I want to say Vince by a hair but I can’t say for certain that he’s greater than Nique. The Human Highlight Film was a monster in game and out! They are both legendary and the greatest dunkers ever do it in my opinion! Speed, Agility, Power and Creativity, ain’t no one better than them two!
@@HorusLupercif u watch interviews or hi. he steph curry jump shot, deep ones he would take handkrs alright, think just hes nice guy n lateral speed maybe, but just wasnt that aggressive mean streak
Crazy thing is during the warm-up for the 96 dunk contest Kobe put his arm in the rim... the video is floating around UA-cam somewhere, but Vince was... man you just had to see it...
alot guys before him same sham god, he dudnt inven tbut i seen it used before shamgod claimed he invented all these moves come from guys on parks we nevr heard of
Watched couple of this videos. Don't know if this show is 100 percent scripted , or not. I am sure that this videos are kind of prescriptted . But it seems that , Bonzi had a bad rep in life. He seems like a good guy. Maybe a short fussed dude . But kind of a nice and loyal person. Obviously don't know the guy, but from this clips he seems like a genuine and nice enough person .And probably some people took an advance on him. See the Chris Mills story. When Sheed , suss Wells out, and said to him : " What you going to do about it, Bonz". I love Rasheed and the story is hilariouse , but It wasn't a nice thing to do to Bonzy .
Vince best in-game NBA dunk was against the entire Milwaukee Bucks team, off the glass on one side then gathered in the air on the other side and Massacred them Boys! LEGENDARY Mid-Air Homicide 💀
I had my tonsils taken out a few days before the Dunk contest in 2020, I was 12. I laid there miserable on the couch with my Dad and mannnnn that night was something special. My Dad was going nuts, what a moment!
From as far as I can remember recalling the best athletes I have ever seen in the NBA as a fan: David Thompson, Julius Erving, Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson & of course, Vince Carter.
You can't talk about who's the most athletic player ever without talking about Vince Carter. His biggest attributes are his ability to move with such ease, along with a legendary vertical leap. And was probably the most naturally gifted in terms of athleticism+skills. But as a Pire Athlete? Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest physical specimen of the last 100 + years if not longer. Then there's everyone after that. Lebron James, Michael Jordan, David Robinson, Shaquille O'Neal, Dwight Howard, Bill Russell, Hakeem Olajuwon, Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Shawn Kemp, Dominique Wilkins
I will put Zion up against anyone on that list except for Wilt.lol. The fact he can dribble a ball from end to end in 4 seconds, spine through the lane like whirling dervish and then land like a ballerina, can beat quarfs with quickness and then jump from the free throw line at 280 puts him in a rare class. Also,Derrick Rose was the fastest and quickness NBA player ever at best. Nobody has more g-force going through thisr body in terms of explosiveness. He was the epitome of the Flash,pure greased lightning.
Yooo, Sheed, that was the perfect description of Vince with the Superman analogy. I'm from Chicago out on a Friday night, and it's a chill dude in the corner in the Crocodile lounge, circa 2000-01 It was kinda dimly lit. But homie was tall and built like a piece of granite. It was Vince. Went over, said a few words, dapped up. Vince a SOLID dude. Character, all that. You'd never know he was a famous athlete. He wasn't stunting or nuttin. Congrats HOF'er, WELL DESERVED.
8:49 Bob Costas interrupted the live broadcast of what ever was on NBC at 2 am so we could alll have that experience 🤣 ill never forget that 😂 ineed that footage
Hey bonzi!!! That dunk was VCs rookie year too!!!!!!! Was n the locker room before the game....Sam Mitchell..reggie...AD all of em was talking about what they heard about Vince....and then THEY FOUND OUT!!!
Best dunk i remember is when Vince went baseline. And the shot hit hard off the side if the rim. And Vince caught it behind his head stretched out. It looked like it shocked him when it came off
I honestly think Dominique Wilkins was probably the best athlete the NBA has ever seen. I have never seen anyone else double clutch poster someone like him.
Still haven't seen a dunker, in my time or after, with more pop(wrestling term) than vince from 98-2001. He was a true star.. if you wasn't a teenager during that time.. you wouldn't understand his reverence & popularity. He made people wanna dunk again after the iverson crossover explosion That purple and black raptors jersey was my first ever jersey.. even tho kg and frobe was my favorite players.. Vince was that exciting but im still pissed he didn't defend his dunk crown.. would've loved to see him and J-Rich go at it in the early 2000s
Air Canada, Vinsanity, Half Man Half Amazing …. 3 nicknames …. Vince was that cold, how Nets will have his jersey retired b4 Toronto is very puzzling …..
Vince Carter had a 43 inch vertical, and when he threw it down it was like thunder striking. They called him the Center Killer. Him & Jordan are the only 2 NBA players I know who had a hit list of centers they wanted to dunk on, but Vince Carter was out there assassinating people on the court. Center after center. I mean, FAY-TALITYY!!!😂 Just ask Frederick Weis. He decided to follow his passions after that dunk.🤣
Oh snap, that's Bonzi Wells. I still have his authentic Blazers away jersey. Too bad it's a size 56 and looks like a dress. It was in style back in 03' LMAO.
Vince's Number is gping to be retired in Toronto as well. It hasnt been outright confirmed but it has been eluded to recently. He's going in the HOF as a Raptor. Nets just announced it before Toronto's offical announcement.
Amazing comments in the Comment section...Im so glad to see ppl show love and RESPECT to greatness. Like WILT THE STILT SHAWN KEMP RAIN MAN DOMINIQUE WILKINS HUMAN HIGHLIGHT FILM MJ AIR JORDAN D ROSE VICE CARTER AIR CANADA OR HALF MAN HALF AMAZING...SUPER ATHLETES ...
IDK about best athlete because the NBA routinely has freaks coming in every year in the draft, but he is definitely the best dunker and one of best athletes in terms of superstar players.
Wilt embodied every athletic category. He’s got the insane track numbers. He’s the top in strength in nba history. Could run a 4 6 40 yard dash. Could play every minute of a game with ease he was top in endurance. He’s number 1. I wouldn’t even take Vince at his position alone as a number 1. That would go to Michael Jordan. MJ was top in his position for strength and he could run a 4.3 40 him and Carter probably identical verticals though I think MJ be lil higher in that. Then endurance MJ blows him out of the water.
I don't think anyone was necessarily more athletic, BUT there are some peers in this similar athletic circle! DRose, Westbrook, and a couple other guys were really athletic! I mean MJ was about that Life. There have been some athletic guys who were not famous and as good of a basketball player as Vince, BUT these guys were in the range. I will say he is the BEST in the game dunker. Also, I saw a dunk he did while STILL a student at Carolina. He caught an alley oop outside of the paint coming from the right baseline and it looks like he was flying from the right out of bounds to dunk with authority from that lateral approach. Insane, because it was or it seemed like he was in the air an inordinate amount of time.
Beyond the obviously elite athleticism, dude also had ridiculous body control, MJ sized hands, and explosive upper body strength as well. The power and speed of his windmills, even off bad lob passes, were unmatched. Scary thing was, it looked like he wasn't even using 100% of his power most of the time. The game was that easy for him.
Zion has a football body. He will always have to watch his weight and what he because he’s always gonna be able to put on pounds real easily and fast. You could see that in college and in high school.
Just hearing these guys talk about Vince with so much enthusiasm tells you how special he was!
Vince olympics in game dunk over 7'1" Frederick Weiss is best IN GAME dunk of all time IMO. 🔥🔥
Easily!!!
NO QUESTION
Off two steps! Nasty work!
I’d put his dunk over Alonzo at #1 bc of the difficulty: how he gathered with the behind the back going sideways etc
Right it never gets Old! Amazing 💯💪
Vince is slept on as far as his all-around ability. Dude could do anything on the floor and his game was so sick in the Nets days. DEEP Deep 3's, 2nd most game winners behind kobe.

@@blackout2430 vince and damon were rookie of the year in toronto
Pretty sure Rasheed knew he messed up when he said it and they just tap danced around that. They need Vince to do a guest spot and address that.
hey are joking around. Are you guys slow or something???
@@columbusohio72 I’m higher than sheed
Yeah that dunk against Indiana was fucking crazy 🤯🤯🤯
Vince did dunk from foul line in game once.
North Carolina Tar Heels, Wallace played for the Heels too.
Vince's Number is gping to be retired in Toronto as well. It hasnt been outright confirmed but it has been eluded to recently. He's going in the HOF as a Raptor. Nets just announced it before Toronto's offical announcement.
vince still the best player to play in toronto
Vince jumped from the free throw line in a playoff game against the New York Knicks
I think that was one step in. He just barely dunked it thru before the halftime buzzers
you gotta turn the audio up a bit my G
Bonzi is a good dude.
I didn’t recognize this bonzi wells he was quiet the dunker as well he was in a lot of highlight reels
Amazing comments in the Comment section...Im so glad to see ppl show love and RESPECT to greatness. Like WILT THE STILT SHAWN KEMP RAIN MAN DOMINIQUE WILKINS HUMAN HIGHLIGHT FILM MJ AIR JORDAN D ROSE VICE CARTER AIR CANADA OR HALF MAN HALF AMAZING...SUPER ATHLETES ...
He almost dunked from the free throw line against the Knicks in the playoffs like Lebron vs the Hawks 🔥
Wish we got to see more cousin-ball between VC & T-Mac.
what is the difference and similarities between sheed at doncic in terms of getting technical fouls and arguing the referees.?
I bbelieve him and Prime D Rose was the moat athletic players in NBA history
Vince definitely but I gotta throw Wilt in there too...
IDK about best athlete because the NBA routinely has freaks coming in every year in the draft, but he is definitely the best dunker and one of best athletes in terms of superstar players.
From 98 to now its nobody that had the swag in they dunks like vince
Williams S. Vince and that young family.
Imagine if Stackhouse, Sheed, Vince and Antwan all played together at UNC for a year.....
Tracy Mcgrady
Vince Carter is without a doubt one of the greatest NBA players all time.
Wilt embodied every athletic category. He’s got the insane track numbers. He’s the top in strength in nba history. Could run a 4 6 40 yard dash. Could play every minute of a game with ease he was top in endurance. He’s number 1. I wouldn’t even take Vince at his position alone as a number 1. That would go to Michael Jordan. MJ was top in his position for strength and he could run a 4.3 40 him and Carter probably identical verticals though I think MJ be lil higher in that. Then endurance MJ blows him out of the water.
I don't think anyone was necessarily more athletic, BUT there are some peers in this similar athletic circle! DRose, Westbrook, and a couple other guys were really athletic! I mean MJ was about that Life. There have been some athletic guys who were not famous and as good of a basketball player as Vince, BUT these guys were in the range. I will say he is the BEST in the game dunker. Also, I saw a dunk he did while STILL a student at Carolina. He caught an alley oop outside of the paint coming from the right baseline and it looks like he was flying from the right out of bounds to dunk with authority from that lateral approach. Insane, because it was or it seemed like he was in the air an inordinate amount of time.
Beyond the obviously elite athleticism, dude also had ridiculous body control, MJ sized hands, and explosive upper body strength as well. The power and speed of his windmills, even off bad lob passes, were unmatched. Scary thing was, it looked like he wasn't even using 100% of his power most of the time. The game was that easy for him.
Vince Carter is what Zion Williamson would have been if he could stay under 240lbs.
If he never goes to New Orleans too much good food
@@jaydub6864 yeah, because Chris Paul, and Anthony Davis went there and got too fat to play.
Zion has a football body. He will always have to watch his weight and what he because he’s always gonna be able to put on pounds real easily and fast. You could see that in college and in high school.
It’s between Vinsanity or AI when it comes to my favorite player in the 90s-00s….
