Watch Retro Vince Carter ‘Inch’ Past Lou Williams For The One-Handed Jam

Vince Carter will turn 39 next month. Lou Williams just turned 29 this past fall. Despite the decade that separates them, Vince looked like the younger, more agile player when the ball got swung to him on Sunday against the Lakers. Lou came out to contest, and Vince inched by him on the right for a one-handed slam.

It wasn’t as explosive as the Vince of old, but it didn’t need to be. Lou doesn’t have the quickest defensive feet. Yet once Vince pirouetted past Lou he knew exactly what to do with the ball.

Despite 14 first-quarter points from Vino, the Lakers trail the Grizzlies 99-76 in the final session. LA’s only shooting 40 percent from the field, and they better beware of the Greens. But while Vince’s dunk was fun, it still felt like slo-mo to us in real time.
