VIDEO: Zach LaVine goes off the backboard for one-handed jam at Seattle Pro-Am

When you got it like Zach LaVine, the rules don't apply.

Competing in the Seattle Pro-Am, LaVine eschewed a boring free throw in favor of serving himself up for an off-the-backboard slam dunk.

Here's Zach Lavine throwing it off the glass at the freethrow at the Seattle Pro-Am! I think he's doing his best Shaq 2006 All-Star game freethrow routine. @zachlavine8 @shaq #ballislife Shoutouts to @askalman for the video!

LaVine's move is reminiscent of Shaquille O'Neal's dunk in the 2006 All-Star Game. Shaq failed to hit the rim, which turned a thunderous jam into a lane violation.
