This was '99-00 Vince. The nastiest of all Vinces.

On this day: Vince Carter drops 51 on the Suns

Still coming down from his 2000 Slam Dunk Contest performance, Vincent Lamar Carter hung 51 of the finest on the Phoenix Suns, on this day, 14 years ago.

Sporting a pair of And1 Tai Chi Mid in Black/White-Silver, Vince had the complete repertoire on display that night - including a number of highlight reel plays. Check out this demonstration of straight up vertical.

Vince Carter vs Orlando Magic (December 21, 2005)

Vince Carter is the greatest dunker of all time, and this particular example, whilst not his best, is the only one we have had the pleasure of seeing live.

Who Dunked It Better? Vince Carter vs Andre Iguodala

Prior to riding his imaginary motorcycle to Dallas via New Jersey, Orlando and Phoenix, Vince made the Raptors cool long before Drake tried to did. Arguably the greatest dunker of all time, he not only left a trail of fire on his way out of Toronto, but enough material to inspire one of the best basketball Youtube channels there is. Click here for the dunk below and plenty more.

Submitted for comparison in today's Who Dunked It Better? is an almost identical throwdown from Andre Iguodala, circa 2007. Currently Baseline Leaner's clubhouse leader for 2013-14 Play of the Year after something else he did behind his back, Iggy has always been under appreciated as a showman. Lest we forget the NBA's Montreal Screw Job that robbed him of the 2006 Dunk Contest.
