The old farts dunking thread

No surprise i opened such a thread :P
No joke though , love seeing 'old' players still banging the rim...

Edit:
My original idea about this thread is videos of 35+ year old pros. Some everyday freaks should qualify too though but they have to be extreme ( their vert must be in the 40''area ).

Edit : just realized VC is only 35 , thought he was older! Oh well , was a good reason to open the thread anyway...

nice! :D

Shaq , 38 years old.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXqiMlFumjk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXqiMlFumjk</a>

Shaq is 7'1''  , so it's not special that he is able to dunk.
Still , an ingame dunk over Dwight Howard qualifies for the thread.
