Chicago Bulls forward Zach LaVine is of the belief that Chicago Bears linebacker Khalil Mack could play at the NBA level due to his insane athleticism.
Mack posted a video on Instagram showing off his new Bulls uniform that he got for Christmas, and he even threw in a little jump shot action for the added effect.
Looking great, @52Mack_! š» ā¬ļø

With Mack already dominating on the football field, that led many people to ponder how his ridiculous athletic talents would translate to the basketball court.
When asked about Mack's potential in the NBA, LaVine made it rather clear what he thought about the Bears star.
Here's what LaVine had to say about Mack's talents, courtesy of K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune:
Zach LaVine on Khalil Mack Bulls video: āI saw that. Heās big as hell. I donāt feel like taking a foul from him. I know that. Heās off the charts athletically. If he put his mind to it, heād probably be able to play in the NBA. Heās that type of special talent.ā
Well, if there's something that can't be argued, it's that taking a foul from an athlete like Mack would probably hurt a little bit.
Of course, given the team's struggles this season, Bulls fans may not mind if Mack decides to transition over to basketball since the franchise could use some help turning things around.
The good news for Chicago is that it's currently riding a two-game winning streak, and LaVine and company will try to keep it going on Wednesday night when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves.
