A biography for Zach LaVinehasn’t been written yet.
“I always felt like I'm a good one-on-one defensive player.”
“While taking sign language in high school, one of our assignments was to go out and participate in the deaf community, so I really got to know a lot of the group from that. I felt like they needed a little bit more of a voice because people treat them different just because they're hearing impaired.”
“I have the highest goals for myself. That's going out there and being the best player on the floor every time. That's my mentality. If it's Michael Jordan, you know, that's the mentality I take to the court.”
“I just feel like whenever the team needs a bucket, I can come and get it. I feel I'm a really good scorer.”
“I love the game of basketball. I guess it started with 'Space Jam.' Right after that movie, I went out there to my little Flight hoop and tried to do every dunk in the movie.”
“I just try to attack the rim as hard as I can. Try to get the crowd pumped up a little bit.”
“If there are negative people around me, I just try to distance myself from that.”
“I've always thought I was talented.”
“I feel like I've accomplished everything I could in the dunk contest. It would be hard for me to go back and outdo myself.”
“I feel comfortable whenever I step on the floor.”
“I have confidence in my game. I can get up and run the floor to the best of my ability, and above all, I'm going to play my hardest.”
“I'm not the best at video games, but I play them a lot.”
“I can create for others.”
“My ultimate goal is whenever I go on the court, I just want to be known as one of the better players.”
“A lot of people I've played with see me as a scorer and a shooter. I'm still fast and everything like that, but then, when they see me dunk, it's like 'Oh, damn.'”
“Michael Jordan was that guy - he was Michael Jordan. So whatever he did, we followed.”
“There's so many different styles to it. I use my athletic ability to create shots for open people, I run the floor, then also space the floor as well. That's what I try to do.”
“I'll forget what day it is sometimes. I have to look in my calendar every once in a while.”
“Whether it's backing up or starting, I have the confidence to go out there and do good, so I'm gonna play my role.”
“Watching game film motivates me a lot. It shows me what I need to work on and determines the specific workouts I do.”
