Also my childhood hero. I was already a fan of the nba, and the raptors and grizzlies already. Had been since I was little just like other sports. But more just a semi fan, I couldn't name all 15 players and their respective colleges, I didn't know our record off by heart.
The night of the 2000 slam dunk contest changed all that. I was in a wheelchair in a hospital awaiting appendix surgery the next day. It was showing on a crappy old 26 inch tv. I knew I couldn't miss it. But I was still shocked. After watching those 45 minutes of electricity, it was a "rap" for me. An obsession was born. Raptors forever. But with that said..
I have always loved Vince carter. I rooted hard for him when he was with the Nets even.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

Now Vince was a marketable star...
Had no problems with recognitions in the states.
And My god, team hasnt sniffed at the excitement levels he brought since he left. Sure team wins regular season games, made playoffs a couple of times, but VC made going to the game/watching the game an absolute priority as something incredible was bound to happen. No leaving the room for even a second when he was one the court cause you just didnt know.
Now...
Go to the kitchen, fix yourself a snack while game is one cause watching it carries the same level of excitement as listening on the radio.

Loved Vince, and like most here, he was my hero. Even tried emulating his version of the Bow Wow dance, lol. Dude was cooler than cool for that portion of my life.
