Congrats on a successful Slam Dunk contest -- you brought it back in style! God Bless you in tomorrow's All-Star Game!
Vince Carter at 11:33 p.m. ET
Thanks very much; I appreciate it. It feels good right now, but I'm glad it's over.
Samuel from sprint.ca at 11:33 p.m. ET
Hey, Vince!! I couldn't believe those dunks you did. Anyway, what happened to that 720 dunk you told Shaq about? Keep flyin' ...
Vince Carter at 11:34 p.m. ET
Actually, Shaq kept telling me to do it every time I looked over there. But I didn't feel ready for that tonight.
Rodrigo from brasilnet.net at 11:34pm ET
You are The Man! What are you feeling now?
Vince Carter at 11:35 p.m. ET
Relieved (at) just having the opportunity to concentrate on Sunday to play in the All-Star Game. That's what I was really looking forward to when I got here and now I can focus on that.

Vince how do you compare your performance tonight to Michael Jordan's in 1988?
Vince Carter at 11:35 p.m. ET
I can't compare mine to Michael. I just did what I had to do to get the win.
Churchie from mgl.ca at 11:35 p.m. ET
Didn't that hurt putting your arm down the rim?
Vince Carter at 11:36 p.m. ET
It didn't hurt at all. I made sure I knew what I was doing, and that's why I held on, so I wouldn't hurt myself.
Vince Carter at 11:36 p.m. ET
I'm just happy that everyone could be a part of this wonderful night for me. Hopefully I can come back and do it again next year. I hope to defend the title next year.
