Vince Carter Challenges Slam Dunk Contest With Two Elbows Dunk

Merlin sees Vince Carter dropping a playful bomb on the Cousins podcast: he always wanted to do a dunk where he put "Two elbows on the rim, then dunk." Carter said, "I did it in high school. It's my first time ever telling you." Tracy McGrady pushed the idea, calling it a world‑level challenge. With Carter Bryant, Jaxson Hayes, Keshad Johnson and Jase Richardson set for the Slam Dunk Contest, the suggestion could inspire someone to try the unheard trick this Saturday. Merlin chuckles at the audacity. The move is flashy and dangerous, the kind of stunt that could steal a contest or end in disaster. High flyers love a moment to make history, so expect creativity to spike even if perfect execution is rare.
