Recently, the topic of the All-Star Dunk Contest has become a hot topic, because the league invited Howard, the twilight of his career, to participate in this year's dunk contest, and this wave of emotions is indeed gimmicky. Recently, French center Frederick Weiss also spoke on Twitter, which stirred up thousands of waves.
"Why didn't the league invite me and Carter to join this year's dunks?"
It should be introduced that this center, named Weiss, is the protagonist when Carter made the death buckle. When it comes to the most shocking dunk in history, Carter's death dunk is bound to be within the options. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, in the United States against The French Nations, Carter went straight to the opponent's penalty area after breaking the ball in front of the court, and the 2.18m French center Weiss blocked Carter's breakthrough route and tried to create an offensive foul, but did not expect Carter to fly directly over The head of Weiss and smash the basketball into the basket.
Since then, Weiss has played basketball in Europe for another 11 years, but his basketball career has always been in Carter's shadow. People think that a big man of 2.18 meters should not be dunked, especially in this way of crotch humiliation. He was even nicknamed "French toast" because "he was uncompromisingly soft".
However, being constantly ridiculed on the court is not the lowest point of his life. In 2002, Weiss's son was diagnosed with autism, and two years later his wife divorced him, and his performance on the pitch became worse and worse, and more and more problems made him almost collapse. Weiss began wandering around bars, trying to numb himself with alcohol, and attempting suicide on sleeping pills.
Fortunately, life always has a peak twist, and Weiss decided to get back on his feet after the suicide attempt, and his wife returned to him. After retiring from the military, Weiss opened a tobacco shop and pub, and a sportswear company with friends to provide clothing for French basketball clubs. Weiss's life has finally come to an end.
Speaking about The Buckle of Death, Weiss said, "Carter is great and I'm honored (to be a part of it). It's a wonderful treat for everyone. This sentence is not a polite remark in the media interview, and now Weiss's self-ridicule on Twitter shows that he did not take this dunk as a shame and was grumpy, after all, there are so many difficulties in life to face and conquer, what is this dunk?
