Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James says Atlanta Hawks veteran wing Vince Carter is the best in-game dunker in NBA history.
Vince Carter turned 42-years-old on Saturday, so videos of some of his best dunks have been circulating on Twitter throughout the day.
LeBron James, who is a pretty good dunker himself, believes no one can snatch the throne of best in-game dunker from Vinsanity.
Best in game and dunker period point blank!! https://t.co/J8aWO57uzH

Look at the reaction of the LA Clippers' bench. The players are in awe of what Carter just did. Anytime you get opposing players going crazy over a play, you know you are a special, transcendent talent.
Of course, Carter's most memorable dunks were in the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest when he pulled off dunks that no one thought were possible at the time.
Vinsanity turns 42 today, so let's take a look back at his incredible 2000 NBA Dunk Contest highlights 🎉

Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, LeBron James, Blake Griffin and Gerald Green are some of the other best in-game dunkers in NBA history, but Carter was on another level during his prime years with the Toronto Raptors and New Jersey Nets (now Brooklyn Nets).
Cater has career averages of 17.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists. He is an eight-time All-Star and won the 1999 Rookie of the Year award. V.C. is still dunking from time to time with the Hawks, but he can't get up how he used to.
