Zion Williamson came into the league and took the NBA by storm. He’s shown glimpses of his greatness and what he can do when he’s available to play for the Pelicans. In 24 games during the 2019 season, Zion averaged 22.5 PPG and 6.2 RPG. It was a sample size of what Zion’s capable of doing but it kept the Pelicans fans excited for the future. Everyone was hyped about Zion’s dunking ability and how crazy his hops are when he came out of Duke. Zion showed that he could be a dominant presence in the paint and even showcased his ability to knock down jumpers. Zion put on a show in a limited time frame but it got New Orleans buzzing for the future. In the 2020 season, Zion played in 61 games and averaged 27 PPG/7.2 RPG. Zion showed a lot of promise and continued to take that next step and he was even selected for the NBA All-Star Game.
The one issue with Zion has been his availability on the court because he’s been derailed by injuries. Zion’s been banged up with ankle, knee, toe, and hand issues that have had him sidelined. The New Orleans Pelicans played it safe with Zion in the 2021-2022 season as they sat him down for conditioning reasons. Zion Williamson let it be known that New Orleans is where he wants to be and they rewarded him. For Zion’s 22nd birthday the Pelicans gave him a 5yr/$231 Million as they are ready to see Zion/CJ/Ingram in 2022-2023.
It was a true bidding war to get Zion Williamson to sign a shoe deal when he came into the NBA. It was Jordan Brand that gave him the lucrative bag to represent him on the court. In his 1st two years in the NBA Zion wore the Jordan 34 and Jordan 35 before getting his own sneaker. Jordan Brand gave Zion his own shoe “The Jordan Zion 1” and it was built for his bounce/bulk. Below we showcased some of the best PEs that he rocked on the court during those years and this should get y’all excited for the upcoming season.
