    if you can honestly watch that dunk contest and tell me that vince carter’s dunks were not all 50s, then you are a better man than me.

    1. Reverse 360 degree, one-hand-windmill

    One word: SICKENING.
    Two numbers: 5-0.

    2. Off the bounce, In the air, between the legs flush

    Done before by Kobe & Rider, but from the ground – not OFF THE BOUNCE. The coordination that moves takes…nevermind.

    3. Elbow dunk.

    That dunk was so unreal, there was silence afterwards. People in the stands, the judges, and the announcers all had to do a triple take to understand what the hell they just saw. Yes, he is 6’6”, but that dunk insofar as creativity, grace and power, was a 50.

    4. Free-throw line 2 hands.

    Every other free thrown line dunk in the damn dunk history has gotten a 50, if completed. Umm, that was with one hand. This was with two – even if he was a step inside the line. Gotta be a 50.

    None of this is taking anything away from Steve. His dunks were awesome. Fantastic. Even incredible. But no one – I repeat – NO ONE could have beaten 50s across the board. Although I will say this…even if Vince had slipped fell and thrown the ball over the backboard, he still may have gotten a 50.
