This would be one of the best dunk contests man has ever seen. Vince Carter in a head to head dunk contest against “The Air Up There”.
The Champion
Vince “Vinsanity” Carter
Hometown: Daytona Beach, Florida
Occupation: NBA Player
Height: 6′6”
Weight: 225
Most Notable Dunk: Jumped over Frederick Weis
The Challenger
Taurian “The Air Up There” Fontenette
Hometown: Hithcock, Texas
Occupation: And1 Streetballer

Most Notable Dunk: 720
Would Vince Carter remain on top as the best dunker, or would the underdog Taurian Fontenette walk away with an upset?
wow… those were some crazy dunks… the air these guys have is unbelievable. for some reason i feel like Fontenette is explosive enough to surpass Carter BUT, with that being said… both men CAN FLY… amazing stuff marquis, thanx…
Originally I would have said Carter hands down because of that dunk over Weis and his unbelievable legacy of excellence, also i’ve never been a huge fan of most of the players from the mix tape tour because i feel like most of their games are gimmicky, incomplete and they wouldn’t be able to handle a real run against top notch players, but after being reminded of the between the legs 360 and the 720 i would have to give it to Air Up There for a guy who is only 6′2” his bounce is incredible.
Yeah. I would give to the Air Up There hands down. Vince could do whatever he wants, but some of the dunks that the Air Up There does looks unreal. I really want to know if Vince can pull of a 720.
The Air Up There is a ONE TRICK PONY people! Sure, he can 720, but can he jump over 7′2″ Frederic Weis WITH AUTHORITY? I think not. Most of The Air Up There’s dunks are in the open floor as well, VINCE destorys anything in his path.
I don’t know man. In a dunk contest, there isn’t anyone in your path, and I think the Air Up There would do some damage against Vince. Some of the dunks I’ve seen him pull off don’t even look real. I have to stick with the Air Up There on this one.
o how i do love the artistry and the mix of finesse and power behind mr vince carters dunks.. mm, it sort of gives me the “o damns” when i think of his sickest dunks. but uh, this air up there guy is completely and utterly a freak of nature. this guy is insane. its perposterous and mind boggling how this circus act of a jumper dunks the babsketball. 720?! r u freakin kiddin me?! thru the legs 360?! come on now.. thats Gods way of saying that yes, He does infact exist and rule over everything and everyone. so, with all that said, im gunna have to go with air up there. hes shorter and has tremendo bounce..
We think very much alike Real Talk TC. I couldn’t have said it any better.
the 720 dunk is sick..
Very Sick. Never thought I would see something like that.
