Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine is familiar with NBA fans chanting his name, as well as the name of his squad. LaVine hears such chants every time the Bulls take the court at home in Chicago. However, the Bulls star was stunned when he heard NBA fans cheering for the Bulls on the road.

Wow. Not only did the Bulls pick up an impressive 114-108 win over a likely playoff-bound Denver Nuggets team, but they also pretty much took over Denver's home arena. LaVine, an eight-year NBA veteran, spoke about how he's never heard that before, with fellow teammate Derrick Jones Jr. adding that it was “very fun.”
Either the Bulls fans are some of the best in the NBA, or the Nuggets fans need to step up their act. Denver head coach Mike Malone probably thinks it's the latter, judging by his quip that he wasn't sure if the game was being played at Ball Arena, the Nuggets home court, or the United Center, the Bulls' turf.
Either way, it's an impressive feeling for LaVine and the rest of Chicago's players to have NBA fans following the team far and wide. Off to an 11-5 start, there's plenty for the home fans- and apparently the road ones too- to be happy about.
