WATCH: Vince Carter shows age in dunk fail
Vince Carter went up for a highlight reel dunk. Instead he was rejected by Dikembe Rim-tumbo

MANILA, Philippines – Walang forever. Not even for Vince Carter.

Carter, who once jumped over the 7-foot-2 Frederic Weis at the 2000 Olympics, and won the NBA dunk contest that year, is 38 years old now and no longer has the hops to jump out of the arena.

Nothing illustrated that more graphically than his transition dunk attempt during an NBA preseason game between his Memphis Grizzlies and the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, October 6. Breaking away with a clear path to the rim, Carter rose up to the rim, only to be stuffed by Dikembe Rim-tumbo.

The sight may be hard to watch for many fans who have followed the baller formerly known as “Air Canada,” but Carter still has an entire season to redeem himself. – Rappler.com
