Zach LaVine opened up about what he has to do to become an All-Star player in the NBA.
The star of the Chicago Bulls believes he has to improve his winning mentality in order to become an elite player.
“I mean, I took it and used it as motivation last year. I thought I had an All-Star-caliber season last year too. But what I’ve learned through this and through basketball is that everything comes with winning…
Coming out of high school and college, I’ve always been a winning player. Now, I just want to do it in the NBA. Then, I think you’ll get the recognition that you deserve. I’ll take it with a grain of salt. Obviously, I think I was an All-Star. I think I’m an All-Star player.
I have bigger and better goals than even All-Star for myself because that’s the type of work I put in. Once I get that winning pedigree, I think it’ll all come out.
I’m extremely hungry. [Winning] is something that I want to do and get better at. The hardest thing in sports is learning how to win. It drives me because I’ve accomplished a lot of things, but that’s something that I haven’t accomplished. I’m looking forward to the chance to go out there and show everybody that we can do this,” LaVine said, via Alex Kennedy of Hoops Hype.
Prior to the NBA suspension, LaVine averaged a career-best 25.7 points (on 45.0 percent shooting), 4.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.5 steals for Chicago.
