It may be hard to believe, but former Toronto Raptor and dunking icon Vince Carter turns 40 today.
During Carter's time with the Raptors, the high-flying guard put on electrifying performances that cemented his place as one of the league's elite scoring talents. On VC's 40th birthday, we take a look back at some of his most memorable moments.
Despite Carter's contentious past with the Raptors organization, posters of the man formerly known as 'Air Canada" likely still grace the walls of many basketball fans in the Great White North, a testament to VC's impact on the game in Canada.
Carter's explosive performance in the 2000 dunk contest revolutionized the event, making his signature white And 1 Tai Chi's the most popular basketball shoe of the year in the process. Ah yes, and who could forget Carter's legendary leap over a 7 foot tall center at the Olympics?
So Happy Birthday to you VC! May you continue to rock the rim for many more years to come!
