How is Frederick Weiss, who was once dunked by Carter, doing now?

For the Sydney Olympics, the United States still formed a dream team, this time led by Garnett, Carter, and Ray Allen. They lived up to expectations and won the final championship. The craziest moment of the U.S. men's basketball team in this Olympics was when Carter dunked on French center Frederic Weis. Even 20 years later, people are still talking about it. Let’s take a look

How is Frederick Weiss, who was once dunked by Carter, doing now?

That scene was Carter's highlight moment, but for Weiss, it was a nightmare. So 20 years later, what is the current situation of this center who was nailed to the "pillar of shame"?

This is what happened at that time:

United States VS France, Carter completed the steal, and 2-meter-18 Frederick Weis defended in front of him. Carter did not change. In the direction he was going, he directly chose a violent dunk. What was surprising was that Carter went directly over Weiss's head. This scene was also accurately captured by the photographer, fully demonstrating Carter's jumping ability and explosive power.

Many people believe that Weiss became depressed after experiencing the dunk and stopped playing basketball. In fact, this is not the case. Weiss was selected by the Knicks with the 16th overall pick in the first round in 2001, but he did not go to the NBA because he listened to his agent.

Several years after this incident, Weiss also expressed that he was very embarrassed when talking about this incident, and it was like a nightmare life. It is worth mentioning that Weiss once attempted suicide, but it was not because of the incident of being buckled, but because of his child.

Wes's child is autistic, which also makes him very sad, and his wife left him with the child. Under this kind of torture, his temper became very violent and he tried to commit suicide, but he was saved.

After this suicide attempt, Weiss also had a profound enlightenment and began to understand the meaning of life, so he changed his bad habits, opened a supermarket, and lived an ordinary life.
