Vince Carter Vertical Leap - CRAZY Vince Carter Dunks

Vince Carter (Vincent Lamar Carter) was born on January 26, 1977 in Daytona Beach Florida. He was the oldest of two boys born to Michelle and Vince Carter Sr. Vince picked up his first basketball at the age of two. Vince's role model growing up was Julius Erving and he tried to practice all of Dr. J's moves while on the playground. At the age of 11 Vince had his first big breakthrough. One day while at the courts he jumped up and brushed the rim with his finger. A year later, at the age of 12 and standing just over 5 feet tall, Vince Carter threw down his first dunk!

Vince attended Daytona Beach's Mainland High School and was the star of the team. In 1995, he was elected to the McDonald's All-Star Team and was named Florida's "Mr. Basketball". Vince Carter suprised everyone and decided to play his college career at North Carolina. Most people thought he would stay in his home state and play for either Florida or Florida State. He spent three years at the University of North Carolina and then entered the NBA draft in 1998.

Vince Carter was drafted by the Golden State Warriors with the 5th overall pick and was quickly traded to the Toronto Raptors for Antawn Jamison. Vince averaged 18.3 points per game and was awarded the NBA Rookie of The Year. As we all know Vince Carter has gone on to be a very good NBA player. He is an 8 time NBA All-Star, holds the NBA playoff record for the most 3 pointers in a game with 9, has scored 51 points in a game (twice actually), and he won the Slam Dunk Contest in 2000.

Vince Carter has worked hard on his vertical leap over the years. At the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest he performed some impressive dunks including a 360 Windmill, a between the legs bounce dunk, and an elbow in the rim dunk (which is also known as a "cookie jar")! Unfortunately, after winning the Dunk Contest in 2000 Vince Carter never competed in the contest again because he was afraid of risking injury. I guess if we want to see more Vince Carter dunks we will just have to watch him in the regular season. :)

Ok, so maybe I can't get you to dunk like Vince Carter, but I can GUARANTEE you that I can help you increase your vertical jump.

When it comes down to it, if you want to improve your vertical you MUST increase your POWER and Explosion. So how do we do this? In short, you need to combine heavy lifting with plyometric exercises. Most of your training should be focused on increasing the strength of your quads, hamstrings, and calves.

However, strength is not the only factor in increasing your vertical. Simply, targeting improvements on your form alone and mastering proper techniques can increase your vertical from 2 - 4 inches!

Also, there are a few commonly neglected aspects of a correct diet which allow your muscle recovery to improve dramatically, and this results in faster gains and greater injury prevention. All of these things can be seen at www.40inchvertical.net
