Empty the Bench

Browsing around on Streetball.com the other day I came across this gem of a young Vince Carter in his Mainland High School duds. In terms of pure electricity and hops few in basketball history can top a young VC, and it’s all on full display in this mix tape from his Daytona Beach days. Can you imagine being a 17-year-old and asked to guard this guy? To take a charge from him? To try and take it strong to the hoop? I wouldn’t want to be one of the opposing players’ mothers; some of these vicious dunks and rejections would have me fearing for their physical safety.
