Vince Carter broke out a special Toronto Raptors-inspired version of the Nike Shox BB4 for the Atlanta Hawks' game against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.
Carter has sported the BB4s throughout the 2018-19 season as a tribute to his "Dunk of Death" over 7-foot-2 French center Frederic Weis at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. The then-Raptor was wearing the shoe when he made the iconic dunk.
"The success of the dunk started the legend of the shoes. But I myself went to another level with them, too," he told Nike in November. "I became a star player in the BB4."
