Vince Carter is a professional American basketball player, often known for his role in the Vince Carter Slam Dunk Contest of 2000. This was one of the most well known and exciting contests in the world of NBA basketball.

The Slam Dunk Contest is one of the most popular NBA contests and the crowd was utterly blown away by Vince Carter’s impressive first performance back in 2000 when he made the first 360 ever, even windmilling the ball in the process. Leaving the crowd absolutely amazed by his performance, especially as it was his first attempt at a Slam Dunk Contest, the game has gone down in history since as one of the finest moments in professional basketball.

It seems as if you can not go anywhere without seeing someone that has their bodies adorned in tattoos, look at the famous basketball star Allen Iverson’s tattoos for instance. Allen has been criticized for all the ink that he has on his body, but who is to say how many or how few tattoos a person is truly allowed.

The fact of the matter is Allen Iverson tattoos are on his body, obviously if he didn’t want as many as he has he would have never had them done in the first place. Before you sit back and try to past judgment on the talented star you need to be able to understand a little bit more about the man and look past his tattoos.

Dwyane Tyrone Wade Jr. was born on January 17, 1982. He currently plays for the Miami Heat in the NBA. His nicknames are Flash and D-Wade. Wade was named 2006 Sportsman of the year.

Wade has established himself as one of the more well-known and popular players in the league. He had the top selling jersey in the NBA for nearly two years, as he led the NBA in jersey sales from the 2005 NBA playoffs until the mid-point of the 2006-2007 season.

5. Dwyane Wade – D-Wade quickly rebounded from a disappointing 2007-2008 campaign that was decimated by injuries. Leading the NBA in scoring, and his team in assists and steals too is very impressive in and of itself.

While Wade may turn over the ball more often than most players at his position, Wade really bridges the gap between point guard and shooting guard for the Heat, so this is forgivable. The fact that the Heat went from the joke of the NBA to a decent team in one season speaks volumes about Wade’s presence.

As if the end of the 2008-2009 season wasn’t painful enough for a Hornets fan, the summer seems to be making it worse. It was a season in which it looked like Chris Paul and the Hornets quit on their coach Byron Scott.

When Allen Iverson first played against the Philadelphia 76ers, he took shots at them before, during and after the game. This time, he saved them just for the court, then showered his old team with praise that indicated he’s gotten over the bitter split. “They’ve got a lot of talent on that team. They’ve got a lot of guys that can do things, and they’ve got a lot of guys that care, guys with pride,”…

In one of the top regular-season matchups in years, an unlikely player was the difference. Just like the last time Boston played Detroit. Rookie Glen Davis scored a career-high 20 points, giving the Celtics’ Big Three a huge lift in a 92-85 win over Detroit on Saturday night in a marquee game that lived up to its billing.
