It’s a general consensus that Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. Dunking was also a big part of Jordan’s repertoire but he’s not considered the very best by all in that category. Vince Carter aka Vinsanity is regarded by some as having the best in-game dunk and among the best in the dunk contest. So Jordan vs. Carter in the dunk contest, both 24-years-old? Vince is going with himself.

NBA: Russell Westbrook Gives The Best Answer Ever Regarding Why He Won’t Do Dunk Contest!
Everyone can agree the dunk contest during all star weekend has lost some of it’s luster due to the lack of star names taking part in the event and the fact that so many dunks have been done already so, it’s more and more difficult to get creative. With that said, I think we would all agree about wishing Russell Westbrook would take part, with his freakish athleticism and dunking power. We can dream, but Russ makes it clear it will never happen, but his reason is awesome!
