NBA JAM SESSION
NBA 200 ALL-STAR GAME SLAMDUNK CHAMPION
The NBA.com Slam Dunk confirmed what NBA fans knew going in:
Vince Carter is the first and last word in electrifying slam dunking in the new millennium.
Carter may have displayed his best mind-blowing, aerial dynamics in
the first round, but he had more than enough in reserve to beat
finalists Steve Francis of Houston and cousin and teammate Tracy
McGrady of Toronto when it counted.
Vince Carter
POWER FACTOR
Carter received scores of 50 and 48 for his two final round dunks,
giving him a total of 98 and a clear victory over Francis, who
scored 91 in the finals, and McGrady, who missed his second final
round dunk and totaled 77.Carter joined Michael Jordan and Spud Webb as players who achieved
perfect scores on three dunks in one dunk contest. Webb notched
three perfect scores in winning the 1986 contest, and Jordan matched
him with three unblemished scores in winning the 1988 contest.
The night belonged to Carter from the outset. Eager to prove
himself a complete player and to distance himself from the Jordan
legend, Carter nonetheless walked on rare air in the final contest
of a thrilling All-Star Saturday program.
