In 2004, Carter rocked the Toronto sports scene when he claimed that he did not want to dunk anymore. It was a perplexing statement from a man dubbed “half-man, half-amazing”.

The statement was vehemently overanalzyed, as Raptors fans could not pinpoint a reason to why VC had a change of heart, but it was widely assumed that the criticism of Carter’s game was a big reason behind it.

Either way, many Raptors’ fans look back on this moment and mark it as the beginning of the end of Vinsanity in Toronto.
