Lord have mercy, Tre…
The Charlotte Hornets and Brooklyn Nets squared off Tuesday night at Barclays Center, doing so in a contest featured in NBA Cup Group Play (like anybody cares about that tournament). Anyways, the Nets went on to win in a 116-115 thriller — if you can call a game between these lowly teams that — but it’s Hornets point guard Tre Mann who is stealing all the headlines.

Near the end of the third quarter with the game tied 83-83, Mann sprinted the ball all the way from half-court to the basket, and when he got there … good googly moogly! My man threw down an absolutely filthy dunk, completely posterizing Nets forward Noah Clowney in the process. And not just that, but it was reminiscent of the legendary Vince Carter.
Friggin’ lethal!

Now don’t get me wrong, Tre Mann is NO Vince Carter, that’s without a doubt…
19 years ago today, Vince Carter’s most famous dunk on Alonzo Mourning.
VC said Alonzo didn’t talk to him for 6-7 years after that poster. VC also dunked on Zo 2 more times (all 3 in this video). pic.twitter.com/CgetZAVsCh

…but you have to acknowledge that he’s at least baby Vince Carter, the flashes were most certainly there, hot damn!
