Dunk of death

This "dunk of death" was performed by Vince Carter during a 2000 Summer Olympics basketball game. Carter, a 6'6 NBA basketball player, dunked while jumping over a 7'2 French player (Frederic Weis). The French media called it "le dunk de la mort". This Carter dunk ended up on posters and countless replays. It is considered one of the best in-game dunks of all time.
