Chicago Bulls: Top 20 plays of the 2018-19 NBA season

9. Zach LaVine’s flying alley-oop dunk in Cleveland

So we know Zach LaVine can jump high and we know he can dunk with flair. Sometimes we take for granted his athleticism because we’ve gotten used to his spectacular aerial displays. LaVine can make the most incredible plays seem normal, which for him, they probably are.

Against the Cleveland Cavaliers back in January, Zach decided to take flight, grabbing a Kris Dunn alley-oop with two hands before throwing it down with his right. Before he secured the lob, his arms were above the square on the backboard, and let’s just say LaVine had a good look at the top of the rim. His jam was so impressive that even the home crowd let out a collective gasp at what it had seen.

It’s not just that LaVine had a nice dunk, it’s that we forget how freakishly athletic the man is. This is after an ACL tear in his left knee he suffered while with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Stay tuned, because there are more Zach LaVine highlights coming up.
