Zach LaVine was showing off the amazing athletic skills early on Friday night in the Rising Stars Challenge


Timberwolves rookie Zach LaVine is just fun to watch. There’s really no other way to put it; the young man is just a joy to watch on the court with his amazing athleticism. Coming into Friday night for the Rising Stars Challenge, you had the feeling that you might see something special out of him, and it certainly didn’t take too long.

In the first half of the game, which is now under the USA vs the World format, LaVine went right through the heart of the defense and threw down one of his monster dunks, which are quickly becoming his signature at this level, just like they were at UCLA.


Fun. Just plain fun is what it is to watch him do this stuff.

Zach LaVine will be dazzling people for a long time to come at this level, and to think he’s only gonna get better from here is a scary thought.
