One of the best dunks in basketball history happened today, fifteen years ago during the Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia in 2000. Vince Carter was already a star but his profile rose even higher from this one play, while simultaneously destroying the career of New York Knicks draft pick, Frederic Weis.

Some of you might be too young to remember but before Vince Carter became a respected veteran reserve, he was the NBA’s premiere dunker both in the dunk contest and in games, garnering the nickname Vinsanity. His most famous dunk is during the Olympic games when he dunked over 7’2 Frederic Weis.
