It’s still early in the 2021-22 NBA season, but it’s safe to say Zach LaVine has provided us with the best dunk we’ve seen thus far.
On Wednesday, in the final two minutes of the Chicago Bulls match against the Dallas Mavericks, the home team was looking to close out a win. Alex Caruso started off the play with a steal off a botched pass from the Mavericks. Lonzo Ball then tossed a dart down the court to LaVine with a brilliant throw that’d make any quarterback jealous.
Finally, LaVine took the pass and went a full 360 degrees on the slam dunk for one of the most hype plays we’ve seen in the NBA this season. Just look at how flawless this was!

Pure perfection right there. LaVine was so fired up after the play — in part due to not getting a foul call on the Bulls’ previous offensive possession — that he drew a technical for yelling at the referees afterwards.
As expected, NBA fans went absolutely wild for LaVine’s dunk, which capped off a 117-107 win to put the Bulls at 8-3 on the season.
