The greatest dunk ever happened 25 YEARS AGO today!

Vince Carter: "I didn't think I was going to make the dunk. I thought I was going to fall short, bust my face open and embarrass myself in front of the rest of the world." (via @usabasketball)

Vince Carter (with hair) put on a ridiculous show during the 2000 Olympics in Sydney! (via @usabasketball)

No one ever mentions how Vince Carter damn there almost clocked KG. This could have easily been a disaster.

wtf was that layup from gary payton lmao

A few years ago, I’m wearing this shirt and just missed an elevator. I hear someone yell, “I’m on that shirt!” I look up and it’s Gary Payton inside the elevator pointing at me as the elevator doors shut.

KG dodged the greatest overhand right in sports history.

Real nggas use to run the NBA:

The only time Vince ever got into a defensive stance was after this dunk.

Here is the 1st copy of Vince Carter's Olympic dunk to hit the web. It caused multiple websites to crash & became the first viral online hoop video. Most people in US didn't see it live b/c the game was shown on tape delay:

It's easy to forget GP was hooping like he was drunk right before this 😭😭😭

Kids will never understand what watching Vince Carter in his prime was like.

Legendary, but also…Gary Payton:

Pretty sure this edges it out especially since I was there!

This is the greatest live game dunk ever.

EVER. Ppl who argue not, probably cheer it on in dunk contests and have no idea the impossibility of pulling it off not only in a live ball situation, but at the OLYMPICS.

The dunk that destroyed Weis’s basketball career

best dunk in olympic history

They funniest part is he almost knocked out Garnett LOL

Let’s talk about GP and that weak ass layup attempt

Take me back

Carter steals the ball and dunks over the defender Weis while tea-bagging him. That is complete ownership of an opponent. If I were Weis, I'd have given up basketball at that point.

who took dat bum ass layup????

What a dunk. Honestly, he’s the greatest dunker I’ve seen.

@KevinGarnett5KG what if he hit you accidentally there?

🐻

Best dunk in Olympic history... Even better with the French commentary:

Me to my little brother on the little tikes hoop as he was learning to walk

Feels like the first time this video's been shown on here

And he almost took out KG in the process….

That was a ball licking good dunk 🤣
