Vince Carter: "Le Dunk De La Mort"

Vince Carter has arguably some of the best in-game dunks in the history of the NBA. There are dozens of posters and videos I could link you to to prove my point, but his abilities can be summed up in one short highlight clip. It was the 2000 Summer Olympics, 6'6'' Vince Carter stole the ball and literally dunk over 7'2'' Frederic Weis. The french media called this "le Dunk de la Mort", or in English: the Dunk of Death.

Seattle Supersonics

In 2006, Oklahoma businessman Clayton Bennett purchased the Sonics with the intentions of keeping the team in Seattle. Key Arena was outdated and undersized, but the owners could not seem to win over government officials to fund a new arena. Bennett moved the team to Oklahoma City in 2008 renaming the team to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The relocation of the Supersonics was devastating to the fans in Seattle. Just watch a Sonics game. Listen to the crowd. Its rare to find an arena as electric as Key Arena. Whether the Sonics were up 20 or down 40, the fans always made themselves known, and it is unfortunate that the franchise had to move.
