Zach LaVine grew up a huge Kobe Bryant fan, but that doesn't stop him from paying homage to the original. After donning the Space Jam Tune Squad jersey in last month's Slam Dunk Contest, LaVine played tonight's game against the Los Angeles Clippers in the 'True Blue' Air Jordan 3.
LaVine was born in 1995, so it's likely that the first time he saw Michael Jordan play was during his short stint with the Washington Wizards — when he spent some time in the 'True Blue' 3. Ironically, the youngster had just 3 points and 3 assists as the Wolves fell to the Clippers 89-76.
