Vince Carter
Vince Carter was born in Daytona Beach, Florida and was a McDonald’s All-American Player in 1995 out of Mainland High School in Daytona Beach. Vince Carter enjoyed tremendous popularity during his initial years in the NBA, especially after showcasing his incredible athletic abilities in the 2000 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, which he competed alongside teammate Tracy McGrady. Hence on, he had been perenially the top vote-getter in the annual All-Star games. However, this took a change after the way he parted with the Toronto Raptors. Carter did not get enough votes to be a starter for the 2006 All Star Games held in Houston - but the starter, Jermaine O’Neal of the Indiana Pacers, was injured, allowing NBA Commissioner David Stern to select Carter as a starter for the 2006 NBA Eastern Conference All-Star Team.
