Father Time reared its ugly head on Tuesday when it claimed the highest of flyers, Vince Carter, on a dunk attempt. It was shocking turn of events considering the blogosphere was just talking about how Vince still has his hops.
However, not every skywalker from the past is going quietly into the night just yet. For instance, 35-year-old Cavaliers forward Richard Jefferson turned back the clock tonight and put 7’3” Walter Tavares on a poster:

Understandably, Basketball Twitter was absolutely stunned by the fact that RJ could still jump:
Richard Jefferson just dunked over 7-3 Edy Tavares because apparently it's 2002 now.
