Insane acts of longevity happen in the NBA from time to time. Robert Parish’s ability to play 21 seasons. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s ability to win Finals MVP 14 years apart. Will the next be Vince Carter winning the NBA Slam Dunk contest 17 years apart?
Carter was asked himself recently after throwing down an insane windmill dunk in warm-ups if he is considering a return to the dunk contest. “It’s possible,” Carter told wedontbluff.com. “I don’t know if I’d win, but I think I’d make it interesting, to say the least.”
Everyone knows Carter isn’t the athletic freak he used to be in the early-2000s on those Toronto Raptors teams, but he still has those hops.
