One of the NBA’s all-time greats loved the show Timberwolves rookie Zach LaVine put on at last weekend’s Slam Dunk Contest.

While Wall won the contest last year with a pretty awesome dunk, he didn’t draw nearly the buzz that LaVine did.
But opinions aside, there’s no denying how mesmerizing LaVine’s dunks look in slow motion. Check them out.
