You became a more vocal leader for the Bulls this season. What prompted that and do you think it was effective? Zach LaVine: I think you just have to grow into it. It was a big thing for me to kind of learn that. It doesn’t just come from day one – it takes experience and ups and downs. I was just finding my voice. I’ve always been able to lead – even when I was a rookie, I feel like – with my work ethic and how I worked out and played hard and things like that. But when you’re the leader of the team, it has to be more than that. It has to be vocal, you have to be in the gym, you have to take no plays off every day, you have to be the one who’s held accountable and you have to take that ownership. I think I did a good job, but obviously I’m going to continue to get better at it with more experience, the more years I have [in that role]. I think my view of it is: If you’re the best player and you’re the leader of this team, then there’s no excuses for you. Go on out there and put yourself out there – even to make mistakes – because you’re the one leading and at the forefront of it.
