Zach LaVine = Ted Mosby

Zach LaVine is arguably the face of the Chicago Bulls franchise, much like Ted Mosby is the face of the CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.”

Mosby is the hopelessly, romantic guy who always seems to find himself blown away by the idea of love. He’s the good guy that viewers learn to love, even with all of his flaws. The same holds true for LaVine.

LaVine is the one of Bulls stars that the franchise was drawn to while making the case for a Jimmy Butler trade. Like Mosby, LaVine has several flaws.

In “How I Met Your Mother,” Mosby shows a tendency to rush into things. Mosby once went on a date with Robin Scherbatsky only to ruin his chances with her because he impulsively tells her that he is in love with her.

Like Mosby, LaVine has a track record of making impulsive decisions at the wrong times, which has resulted in the Bulls losing some games.

It’s clear that Mosby has good intentions most of the time, as does LaVine.

If there’s one thing that LaVine can learn from Mosby, it’s to never give up on love, no matter how many times it doesn’t work out.

As the popular saying goes, you miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.

Just keep in mind to make sure it’s a good shot.
