Zach LaVine is one freakish athlete.
Watching him soar through the air and throw down one jaw-dropping jam after another during the NBA's All-Star Saturday night this past February is proof of that. But the Slam Dunk Contest champion and Minnesota Timberwolves' 20-year-old point guard can dunk anything...and we mean anything.
In a YouTube clip uploaded by PureSweatBasketball on Tuesday, LaVine is filmed running NFL wide receiver routes and dunking footballs via several amazing jams in a workout turned football-dunking contest—with judges, scorecards and all.
With the first pass, LaVine hauls in a long bomb and rocks the rim with an insane dunk. He then takes a halfcourt pass and one hands it home with style. He also chases down a fullcourt pass, glides through the air and flushes it down with emphasis. Just...nasty!
But the most mind-boggling offering has Zach chasing down a fullcourt pass, hauling in the long bomb and windmill dunking it for the jam. Absolutely ridiculous!
It's safe to say that this clip will be viral...and soon. It's also safe to say that even though the Minnesota Timberwolves finished the 2014-15 season with the league's-worst record of 16-66, their future is in good hands with NBA Rookie of the Year Andrew Wiggins and LaVine. They won't be the league's worst for too much longer.
This kid LaVine can absolutely fly. The air up there must feel nice.
