Wolves rookie Zach LaVine is a great dunker. He's so good at it that he's one of four participants in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, announced Tuesday.

We posted a video earlier of some of LaVine's best dunks, but we were also alerted to this video from several months ago of LaVine dunking with a GoPro camera mounted on his forehead, offering those of us who can't dunk a glimpse of what it feels like.

Best parts about the video other than that? It was made this summer, before the Andrew Wiggins trade, so you see Wiggins in a Cavaliers jersey. Also, LaVine makes his case for being invited to the dunk contest … which of course came to fruition six months later.

In any event, here's the video, which has some other nice dunks as well:
