Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine has been the subject of plenty of trade rumors as of late, but he didn’t let that bother him one bit as he stole the show at the MLB Celebrity Softball Game in Seattle.

LaVine wasn’t done either. With former Mariner Mike Cameron, who hit four home runs in a single game at Guaranteed Rate Field back in the day, at the dish, LaVine showed off his defensive ability by robbing a home run at the fence in center field.
