LaVine throws down a big dunk for Team USA…
Minnesota Timberwolves star Zach LaVine is considered the favourite for the All-Star Dunk Contest on Saturday night, and here is a prime example of why.
The 19-year-old has built a reputation for his dunking skills, and while he is expected to produce some show-stopping moments on Saturday, he gave fans in New York a sneak preview of what is to come during the Rising Stars Challenge at Barclays Center.
While Team USA trailed for much of the first half, they exchanged big dunks with the international side while both teams were able to take advantage of some open threes too as defense was very much a rare sight for the contest.
Mason Plumlee, Rudy Gobert and others will be disappointed not to have made the highlight reel, but they certainly can’t have any complaints that LaVine got most of the attention for this effort…
