Vince Carter’s Famous Olympics Dunk Turns 20

Bradley Smith,

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —

It’s been 20 years since what many have called one of the greatest dunks ever.

It happened during the Sydney Olympics in Australia in 2000.

A young Vince Carter got a steal and jumped over 7’2 Frédéric Weis. Weis was drafted by the New York Knicks in 1999 but never signed with the team or played in the NBA.
