Dunk Quotes

My first dunk was actually in sixth grade. (Vince Carter)
"When I was a freshman, I fooled around with shooting free throws this way: For some reason, I thought you had to stay within the top half of that free-throw circle, so I would step back to just inside the top of the circle, take off from behind the line and dunk.
