Vince dunking over Weis was probably the best dunk in history and ended careers, but Steph hitting the 3 over 2 French defenders in the gold medal game may have just topped that. Which will go down as being more iconic?

“Le Dunk de la Mort” effectively ended Frederick Weis Career. NBA teams refused to sign him after that so it was definitely impactful for it’s time
Weis was a first round pick of the Knicks in 1999. He got bad advice from his agent and went back to France. I think it’s a bit unfair to say the dunk in particular ruined his career. He just never really took off in Europe, and also battled a lot of personal issues as well. I’m sure if he had been a really good European player post 2000 Olympics, he could have gotten a chance.
