Vince Carter is a professional American basketball player, often known for his role in the Vince Carter Slam Dunk Contest of 2000. This was one of the most well known and exciting contests in the world of NBA basketball.

The Slam Dunk Contest is one of the most popular NBA contests and the crowd was utterly blown away by Vince Carter’s impressive first performance back in 2000 when he made the first 360 ever, even windmilling the ball in the process. Leaving the crowd absolutely amazed by his performance, especially as it was his first attempt at a Slam Dunk Contest, the game has gone down in history since as one of the finest moments in professional basketball.

Mark Carrier, Ravens former defensive backs coach will be joining the Jets as defensive line coach.

Carrier was drafted into the NFL in 1990 by the Bears earning AP’s Defensive Rookie of the Year. He played in 3 Pro Bowls and in his 11 years as a safety he played for the Bears, Lions and Redskins.

Carrier joined the Ravens coaching staff in 2006 and will be joining former Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan.

According to the Baltimore Sun, believes the move will help his chances of becoming a defensive coordinator.

Ravens may be thankful to the Colts as the undefeated team (13-0) goes into Thursday’s game with their starters on the field right from the start.

After his team clinched the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs, coach Jim Caldwell announced it will be business as usual Thursday night at Jacksonville.

That means healthy starters will play — start to finish. And it means players who are dealing with injuries won’t play. Caldwell’s decision will be embraced by the majority of players, who were not pleased at the thought of limited playing time for front-line starters in the final three games.

The Jets will be without cornerbacks Dwight Lowery and Donald Strickland, and backup guard Robert Turner when they face the Buffalo Bills in Toronto on Thursday night.

Both Lowery (high ankle sprain) and Strickland (concussion) also missed last Sunday’s game against Jacksonville. Lowery will again be replaced in the starting lineup by Lito Sheppard, with David Clowney and Brad Smith returning kickoffs.

Turner (knee) was injured in the 17-6 victory, and his absence could allow Matt Slauson, the team’s sixth-round pick, to make his NFL debut.

Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez was limited during the team’s light practice Monday with a sore left knee, but should play against the Buffalo Bills in Toronto on Thursday. Coach Rex Ryan said Sanchez had some soreness in the knee after he tweaked it in the Jets’ 17-6 win over Carolina on Sunday.

Sanchez downplayed it, saying he woke up Monday and the knee was fine, showing no concern that it might hamper him. “It felt really good,” Sanchez said. “The training staff looked at it this morning, stretched me out and we went through the walkthrough, pretty seamless. It feels fine. We’ll see how it goes as the week goes on and make sure we take it slow and be smart about it.”
