Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine is no stranger to NBA All-Star weekend. His back-to-back Slam Dunk Contest wins in 2015 and 2016 means his name is oftentimes in the conversation when the weekend approaches.
Nevertheless, LaVine has never made it all the way to the actual NBA All-Star game itself. Despite averaging career bests in nearly every counting stat last season, LaVine didn’t crack the team.
Luckily for Bulls fans, LaVine’s renaissance doesn’t appear to have been a flash in the pan. Through 30 games this year, LaVine has been able to closely replicate some of those career highs.
