On this day in 2000, the American basketball team played France. Vince Carter, a 23 year old shooting guard at the time, was widely known as one of, if not the, greatest dunker in basketball. The USA was leading 69-54 in the second half, and Vince Carter got a steal off of an inbound pass. He caught the ball around the 3-point line, and drove it in from there. Standing in his way of the basket was 7 foot 2 French big man, Frédéric Weis. Carter then did the unexpected and jumped completely over Weis and dunked the ball inside the hoop. Carter, who is 6 foot 6, was at an 8 inch disadvantage but turned into one of the greatest dunks of all time. America would go on to win this game and ultimately get the gold medal.
