During the prime VC days, the Raptors had great home attendance. As a visiting team, they also drew big crowds in anticipation of a spectacular dunk. And fans were rarely disappointed. https://t.co/uU57GsEnZl

Jumping to try and block a Vince Carter drive has to be considered being mentally unwell. https://t.co/KX6qfX9Njy

The AG/Lavine dunk contests were great but IMO the GOAT dunker is Vince and it’s not particularly close. An amalgamation of MJ & ‘Nique. Hang time, vert, power, style & body control. He had it all. Underrated player as well. https://t.co/DfQdiGKx1v

I can’t clearly state who’s the greatest dunker I’ve seen in the last 35 years of watching basketball but I can say without a shadow of a doubt Vince is definitely on my Mt. Rushmore of hoopers who played primarily above the rim. Wow! https://t.co/eS69TC51Ws

Vince in his prime, was unmatched. He was worth the price of admission, either playing at home or on the road. https://t.co/HPtgZrAieN
