What drop-off? 1. I’d argue that this NBA is more fun due to the fact that there’s more competition and almost 1/3rd of the league’s teams are title contenders, 2. There’s clearly a larger pool of talent than in the 2000s, if you’re talking about the dunk contest it makes since, this year sucked and VC was great, but to say there’s been a decline in the NBA’s quality is incredibly myopic.

that first dunk is probably my favorite dunk of all time it looks and feels powerful and forceful three dribbles 360 that leads to a tomahawk then after he lands he just jumps casually in excitement

The first round had everybody hype, but when he stuck his arm in the rim, ppls brains couldn’t process what just happened. They almost looked scared or concerned.

Hands down my favorite dunk in the dunk contest kids were talking about that dunk the next day in school

Just announced his retirement had to come back and watch this gem

I still come back to this. Vince just had a different swag to him when dunked the ball, the way he jumped and contoured his body was like no one else in the dunk contest

This is the most hype and perfect sports spectacle I’ve ever seen

2000 : A Raptor wins NBA Slam Dunk Contest 2019 : Raptors win NBA Title Both in OAKLAND

Vince just had ever aspect of the dunk contest down pact, he had grace and agility but he could also finish with a slam and basically fly in the air and then beyond that he had so much confidence creativity, and. swagger. He just performed everything perfectly to a tee. Best dunk contest performance by one guy

Vince slammed the ball so hard on the first dunk it hit the floor before he landed. And he didn't even try to hang on the rim. Kenny Smith's "Let's go home! Let's go home ladies & gentlemen!" and "It's over! It's over ladies & gentlemen!" are also legendary because of this guy

Till this day I haven’t seen a windmill or 360 as elegant and powerful as Vince . Best dunker to ever touch a ball and imagine with today training and diet smh
