Half-Man Half-Amazing, Air Canada, Vinsanity, the one and only Vince Carter turns 39 today (don’t you feel old?)
As a basketball obsessed kid who’s formative years were in the late 90s and 2000s there was no better dunk artist than Vince Carter, he could do things in games or in dunk contests that didn’t seem humanely possible.
Although Air Canada is usually stuck on the tarmac now, every once in a while VC will turn back the clock and rev it up by laying down the hammer on a young-blood who needs to be taught a lesson.
We are more than likely watching Carter’s final season, as a rarely used bench player for the Grizzlies. With Carter’s more than 20,000 career points and eight all-star appearances he is more than likely headed for Springfield upon his retirement.
Please I beg of you, take some time to enjoy the top 100 dunks of Vince Carter’s career…
Happy birthday @mrvincecarter15! Here are 100 of his greatest dunks. https://t.co/aMUpp9zq4m

Carter may also have the best in game dunk in basketball history, leapfrogging 7’2″ French Center Frederic Weiss during the 2000 Olympics.
This dunk from the 2000 Olympics though… ??
Happy Birthday to the one and only, @mrvincecarter15! #Vinsanity ? https://t.co/3NVsa9rNzE
