Which NBA player wore Nike Shox BB4 during the 2000 Olympic “Dunk of Death”? Vince Carter wore the Nike Shox BB4.

Carter performed the famous dunk during the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, jumping over French center Frédéric Weis during a game between the United States and France. The astonishing play became known in French as “le dunk de la mort,” or “the dunk of death.”

The moment helped make the Nike Shox BB4 one of the most recognizable basketball shoes of its era. The model used the Shox column system in the heel and was strongly associated with Carter’s explosive athleticism and early-2000s “Vinsanity” persona.

The other choices can cause confusion because Ray Allen, Jason Kidd, and Kobe Bryant were also prominent NBA players and members of the era’s basketball culture. But Carter—not any of those players—made the BB4 inseparable from the Olympic dunk.
