Zion Williamson Says Playing in Front of Jay-Z Was 'Like a Dream Come True'

All eyes are usually on Duke sensation Zion Williamson when he is on the court, but on Tuesday night Williamson had his eyes set on someone else: rapper Jay-Z.

The 21-time Grammy Award winning artist was sitting front row at the sold-out Petersen Events Center, watching Williamson and his teammates work their way to a 79–64 victory over former Duke assistant Jeff Capel's Panthers.

Williamson told reporters after the game that he noticed Jay-Z sitting courtside.

“That was like a dream come true,” Williamson said, per the Associated Press. “To me, he’s the GOAT” — greatest of all time.
