Zach LaVine made the day of one lucky Chicago Bulls fan on Thursday inside United Center. Aside from making sure the Bulls won with her in attendance, the one-time All-Star even gave her a souvenir to remember him by.
Prior to tip-off the Bulls' 122-113 win over the visiting Toronto Raptors, LaVine came over courtside and gave a young girl a pair of his autographed Adidas BYW X 2.0 shoes. The young fan certainly cherished the once-in-a-lifetime moment, as she was seen hugging the Bulls superstar's gift shortly after.
Here's the heartwarming moment captured before the match.

Zach LaVine's good deed brought great fortune for the Bulls, as they outplayed the Raptors for 48 minutes. The 26-year-old scorer was again on the forefront of Chicago's attack, as he scored 22 points on 8-for-16 shooting from the field including two made threes in 38 minutes versus Toronto.
The former UCLA standout even shared the wealth with his teammates, recording a game-high 13 dimes along with six rebounds, three steals, and one block. His fellow All-Star Nikola Vucevic was often the recipient of those passes, finishing with 22 points and seven boards.
Toronto did put up a fight, particularly in the fourth when Chris Boucher's career night sparked a late-game surge. But LaVine put the pesky Raps away for good with a dagger 3-pointer with 45 seconds remaining in regulation.
LaVine, meanwhile, has turned into a fan favorite since emerging as a star for the Bulls over the last few seasons. He definitely earned himself some new fans after both his brilliant performance and generous act.
