Slam Dunk Selections: Carter & Billups' Stellar Careers
Airborne artist Vince Carter isn't just a dunk legend; he's an NBA journeyman with 22 seasons under his belt – a stellar run with the Toronto Raptors, New Jersey Nets, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, and more. Meanwhile, Mr. Big Shot Chauncey Billups, hero of the 2004 NBA champion Detroit Pistons, now calls the shots from the sidelines as coach of the Portland Trail Blazers.
Jerry West makes history, being inducted not once, but twice – as a player and now for his executive prowess after guiding the Los Angeles Lakers from 1982 to 2000.
Among the honorees are also defensive powerhouse Michael Cooper, high-flyer Walter Davis, coaching maestro Bo Ryan, and the versatile Charles Smith, not forgetting WNBA queen Seimone Augustus, with four championship rings to her name.
