NBA fans react to Zach LaVine’s two-word Instagram post

Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine had a strong NBA preseason. In four appearances, LaVine averaged 18.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists on 53.3 percent shooting and 50.0 percent from three.

LaVine is entering his 11th NBA season and has a big year ahead of him. There were several trade rumors surrounding LaVine during the offseason, but many reports suggested that his trade value was non-existent.

As LaVine enters the third year of a five-year, $215 million contract, he will likely need to return to his All-Star form before a rival team will consider the deal. This and LaVine’s injury history led to him remaining in Chicago during the rebuild.

Ahead of the new NBA season, LaVine published an Instagram post on Sunday.

About LaVine: “Grade 11. 🔒”

The post contains five pictures from preseason and fans reacted in the comments.

Via blikemike_13: “MVP season, why not? Why can’t you be MVP of the league?”

About elyarbaxsian: “Grade 11? We have an old man”

Many fans reacted to how crazy it sounds that LaVine is starting his 11th season in the NBA. LaVine was selected 13th overall in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves and has made two All-Star teams, both of which came in Chicago.

LaVine is entering his eighth season with the Bulls.
