For many young NBA fans, Sacramento Kings forward Vince Carter is just a veteran player filling the leadership role on a young, developing team. However, those that grew up cheering for him in the early 2000's remember the “Vinsanity” he used to cause with his aerial acrobatics.

Well, Carter turned back the clock prior to Saturday night's tilt versus the Milwaukee Bucks with a reverse 360 dunk.

While it may not have been as flashy as the dunks “Half-Man, Half-Amazing” used to do circa 2000, it goes to show how well the 40-year-old has taken care of himself over the years.

More often than not, former Slam Dunk champs usually fizzle out of the NBA at some point. However, Vince Carter has shown an impressive ability to adapt his to today's league even without the explosive athleticism.

Carter surprisingly chose to sign with the Kings this offseason over the defending champion Golden State Warriors. The reason being was that the eight-time All-Star did not want to ride the bench in what could be his last year in the league. Unfortunately, he still has yet to find a solid role in the young Kings' rotation. The 20-year veteran is currently averaging just 2.8 points and 1.4 rebounds in 12.0 minutes played per game.
