vince didn’t fall so his was better

[–] Js_On_My_Yeet@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

VC's was insanely clean with the perfect landing, but Lebron's was against 2 defenders. I'll give it to VC over Lebron. Both are still very impressive at 38/39.

[–] FrostyTree420@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

One was hooking… the other was VC

[–] CryptoNerdSmacker@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Jerseys are similar in color/pattern too.

We live in a simulation.

[–] jbhoops25@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Vince looked better

[–] Legal_Fennel_1431@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The uniform colors matching is even stranger.

[–] DigOlBick99@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Goat. Love Lebron too

[–] BillyBean11111@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

i hate it when devs reuse animations

[–] SnooPies5622@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Math teachers in shambles

[–] SkipsPittsnogle@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Incredible, but let’s not take away from VC. His rotation and flexibility on this layup was superior to Brons.

[–] robocopfrommars@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I've been told that's a move you unlock after 38

[–] millionairebif@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lebron adds his signature flop at the end

[–] kebbun@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

20 yr old Vince carter would've reverse dunked it with two hands

[–] Rough-Holiday-1525@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Damn same team too

Bron takes off facing the free throw line, def a 180. VC might be closer to a 270 at best if he's sideways at takeoff. Neither are 360s tho

[–] dautjazz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why have people been calling him 39 since the start of season, and he's still 4 weeks away?

[–] green_and_green23@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Time is a circle

[–] CoolGuyHuh@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They have reset the matrix.

[–] makemeking706@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is all the proof I need to believe the NBA is scripted like wrestling.

[–] Amber900@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Cool... except Lebron is doing that same move with nearly 20,000 more minutes played than Vince.

Same age, same move, but very very different.

[–] No-Astronomer139@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

We gotta be living in a simulation.

[–] Standard-Inflation10@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Vince Carter is the most overrated player in nba history man.

Dude had 3 good years and a good dunk contest then was solid garbage for another 10 years and is hailed as this great player.

[–] LyonsKing12@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Pretty sure Vince can still windmill to this day.

Oh and while they are the same age, that's a different 39 for Lebron in NBA mileage. I get it, you can't compare anyone else to him and say "this guy is in year 21 as well". Just pointing out as I always do how crazy it is what Lebron is doing. Just in awe, really.

[–] ToraLoco@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is not the greatest basketball move in the world, no.

This is just a tribute.

[–] UnnamedStaplesDrone@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lebrons gotta be sore AF from that one. Gawddamn its nuts what these unicorns can do at their age against the best athletes in the world.

[–] Pristine-Street-8604@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The matrix. It does exist.

[–] dog1tex420@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Typical LeBron. Always stealing other players moves.

[–] Kal-Kent@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

vince carter used to do 360s so effortlessly man i miss watching him play

[–] seamon-deemon@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’m the sluttiest Bronsexual alive but VC’s looked way better

[–] kah530@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

VC stayed on his feet tho. Therefore vc>lbj

[–] spaldingnoooo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Vince stayed on his feet

I arrest my case!

[–] BroadwayBully@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Vince made it look easy.. not surprised to see lebron rolling around out there.

[–] Dry-Painter-9977@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Difference is LeBron is more built and trying to draw the foul. Carter commits to his plays and believes in himself.

[–] kingJoffi@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Bron with the off hand

[–] ChesterCopperpotHou@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He’s still 38 man for a couple of weeks

[–] ClayMitchell@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Vince didn’t hook his defender AND stuck the landing

Vince -> LeBron

[–] ForneauCosmique@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Vince did it better.....

[–] Twelvey@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Who slam harder? Onyx or Vince Carter?

[–] spaldingnoooo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So looks like Lebron has a higher vert but Vince's 2 foot vert seems much higher (maybe because of weight) than Lebron's does. Lebron highlight dunks are tomahawk, tomahawk, tomahawk, ad infinitum (i.e. running dunks). Vince is obviously more impressive in-game and dunk contest because of his lift and WINGSPAN.

[–] maaseru@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lebron is 38 though

[–] Division2226@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

VC didn't fall. GOAT.

[–] yourmothersgun@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

“Old man moves”

[–] habarnamstietot@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Vince Carter is the biggest underachiever in the history of the NBA.

Half man half a season is the most fitting nickname of all time.

He had all the physical tools Jordan had, and a 3p shot on top of that. I still remember seeing him drop 7 3s in a half, at a time people weren't shooting 3s like today. He was so smooth.

But he never made an all-NBA 1st team, only made one 2nd and one 3rd, when he should have been a perennial MVP candidate.

[–] email253200@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Both genetic freaks

[–] leftynate11@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

VC…man, looks so smooth.

I actually assumed I’d like the Lebron one. Impressive it went it. Looks awkward as hell.

[–] DrFrankSaysAgain@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Carter really transformed his game as he got older and became an excellent 3 shooter.

[–] hime2011@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Makes it seems like what Lebron did wasn't that impressive.

[–] HisUnHoliness@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

VC was criminally underrated and under utilized. Had he not been so nice and his career situation been different, he'd easily be in everyone's top 10 if not top 5. His athletic ability and talent was absolutely insane.
