Zion Williamson Duke Basketball Highlights - 2018-19 Season | Stadium

[@Plants28]

We were spoiled with greatness. I haven't watched a full college basketball (regular season game) since. It's boring. He was insane. Watching zion was more hype than the football season. Crazy.

[@npvuvuzela]

Boring? You only seem to care about flashy highlight plays then

[@jgneolardo8875]

Then you missed Jamal Shead and The Houston Defense in '23/'24. That was also insane, combined with an insanely bad, unfortunate ending.

[@LAV-wj7mc]

@@npvuvuzela relax, we see great college ball all the time, he said fun college basketball. That’s meaning a player like Zion who was capable of playing within the Duke system to be a regular season dominant team but his talent and athleticism shining made it fun hence the highlights

This why he got that rookie extension, every highlight has the crowd wildin. Worth the investment.

[@Tteas215]

[@hyperbolicathletes]

The fact that he was better condition in college then on a NBA team not only says a lot about Zion but even more about the Pelicans Organization

[@greatest599]

Ehh not really. Zions the only one on the team out of shape. You can only do so much to try to get a guy to take care of himself but he’s not a slave, you can’t force him to do anything nor control him. It says more about Zion himself than anyone else

[@Ultramonkey05]

It was the money, when he was in duke the coaches weren't holding his hand, they were tough with him and made him take care of his body.

[@Neek3]

I’m not even mad at his nba career bc I think he gave us everything he had in that szn at Duke 🤣😮‍💨🔥

Zion needs to get back to this weight it gives him the perfect blend of speed and power now he’s just really big and sure it’s made him more overpowering in the paint but he’s lost lateral quickness that would make his defence better. This version of Zion has goat potential

@@FEVill so playing against better compilation makes him less explosive? I think it more that he was injured most of last year and is still working his way back into shape. He’s looked better as of late

Your point is very much valid. I also think that NBA players and coaches know how to scheme against him. The players are also more of a physical match than when he was in college.

[@SapphicTwist]

It's April 2021 and Zion still has not regained the physical form he had in the early part of his Duke season. Look at that head at the rim dunk at 1:30--hopefully we'll see Zion in this form by the end of May, when the playoffs start...
