Best Dunk in Basketball History

And speaking of Google videos, this montage of Vince Carter highlights (going back to high school!) shows the infamous dunk on France's center, Frederic Weis, from roughly 00:20 to 00:28.
Among the cool things I'd never picked up from shorter clips of the play:
- It is preceded by an amazing rip on the guy who had been bringing it up courrt
- Weis is just standing there and makes no effort to play defense nor take a charge. My guess is a combination of him being too slow to realize they had changed possession and being caught like a deer in headlights.
- And what is a guy doing standing under his own basket, during a fast break, anyway?
- The tilt-your-head-back-and-roar afterplay is a bit cliché, but that leg kick afterwards is hilarious. Man, I hope he shows that kind of energy for the Nets this year. (And I hope that Krstic and Jackson don't play like French big men.)

Or how about how he almost decked KG when he swung his fist in celebration?
That leg kick is too funny.
