The Minnesota Timberwolves' Zach LaVine is one of the most feared dunkers in the NBA, and today, he showed the world he's capable of greatness both on and off the basketball court.

According to reports, LaVine recently donated $10,000 of his 2016 NBA Slam Dunk Contest winnings to help build a kitchen for children at the Metro Deaf School in Minnesota.

Today, LaVine made a personal visit to the Metro Deaf School to partake in the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the kitchen.

LaVine's financial donation is a wonderful and selfless gift, but his visit to the Metro Deaf School speaks volumes about his character.

LaVine even has "cynical" folks out here having all kinds of warm, fuzzy feelings.

Way to be, young fella!
