“Zion Williams, Duke University, Forward. And I’d like to shout out my mom.” Zion Williamson gave that introduction for the new ESPN NBA Draft introduction interviews. It would become clear that the New Orleans Pelicans are getting a grounded star with the first overall pick, thanks to Momma Williamson.
When asked about his hype and adversity he responded that he “likes it,” because it keeps him competitive. He added that “when people think I can’t do something or think I can’t accomplish something,” it helps him to “work that much harder.”
Who are these people thinking Zion cannot do something on a basketball court?
