Zion Williamson’s play

There has been no one quite like Zion Williamson. His power, mass, and explosiveness are unprecedented in the NBA, and now that he is fully healthy, the MVP awaits.

Williamson has led the New Orleans Pelicans to the No. 1 one team in the Western Conference, even without their secondary star, Brandon Ingram.

The Pelicans are riding high with motivation; if their success continues, Williamson will be a significant reason for it. When Brandon Ingram returns, the Pelicans will continue to tear apart the West.

Zion Williamson is now in the MVP conversation, averaging 25 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. His stats continue to rise as his play on the floor improves. There will be no doubt left behind once other fans open their eyes and tune into the entertainment and domination that Williamson and the Pelicans bring to the court.
