Vince Carter, Memphis Grizzlies, shooting guard/small forward, #15

Vince Carter is the oldest player in the NBA.

At 39 years of age, Carter continues to play basketball at a high level. His all-star days are past him.

However, every now and then we will witness the old Vinsanity come out with a highlight reel dunk. Carter backs up Chandler Parsons at the small forward position.  He even hinted that he might participate in the NBA Slam Dunk contest when it comes around in February.

This season, Carter is averaging four points and five rebounds in a couple of games.
