The 2016 NBA dunk contest was shut down before it even entered the second round, with an electrifying dunk from Minnesota's Zach LaVine.

Before the dunk, LaVine (who was the last dunker of the round) came out to Toronto-rapper Drake's "Back to Back" diss track of Meek Mill. Then, the Timberwolves guard greeted Drake on the sideline. LaVine, the defending dunk contest champion, threw the ball up and caught it. Then he twirled it behind his back and threw down a reverse dunk. Boom. 

While the other dunks were impressive, LaVine's performance was the obvious highlight of the first round. It was an awesome dunk, and his teammates Karl-Anthony Towns (who won the skills competition earlier in the night) and Andrew Wiggins seemed to enjoy it as well.
