@vintagevinsanity: Vince Carter’s first step is one of the most forgotten and underrated weapons in the new generation of basketball. His first step baseline rip-through was one of the most unstoppable and explosive moves you’ll ever see. Listen to lebron James, Allen Iverson and others talk about this. It’s what made Vince truly unique and deadly as an offensive weapon. Teams used to triple team him on his baseline drive. It was unguardable one on one. He was one of a kind. Nowadays, kids will waste dribbles and combo moves to get to the basket with an OPEN paint. Vince used 1-2 dribbles to get to the basket in a CROWDED paint. Vince explained that he simply learned how to read the defense and opportune time to use his explosive first step. He only needed 1-2 dribbles to get to the basket in order to beat two big men (teams used to have 2 bigs, ie Duncan and Robinson, Davis brothers, etc). History lesson for the young hooper’s today. While it’s rare to be blessed with as much explosion as Vince, it’s still important to work on your first step. #sports #nbaedits #basketball #NBA #vincecarter #lebronjames #alleniverson
