VIDEO: Between-the-legs self-alley-oops are pretty casual for Zach LaVine
Brad Penner / USA Today Sports
We've been trying to tell everyone that Minnesota Timberwolves draft pick Zach LaVine is going to win a dunk contest some day, and he's been working hard since the college season ended to prove us right.
On Sunday, LaVine busted out a between-the-legs, self-alley-oop in warmups, and made it look incredibly easy.
The grace and ease on his lift is such that this kind of dunk almost seems a try-this-at-home proposition. It is not. Trust.
Hopefully LaVine's dunking carries over into games this season, and we look forward to him and Aaron Gordon squaring off in the dunk contest this February.
