New Orleans Pelicans super rookie Zion Williamson showed his strength to the Milwaukee Bucks by ripping the ball away from reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Midway through the fourth quarter of the, Williamson's brute strength came in full display. He literally just plucked the ball out of Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak, meanwhile, couldn't believe it and even asked the referees for a jump ball.

Zion Williamson definitely got his revenge after getting swatted by Giannis Antetokounmpo earlier in the game. In the battle between two of the most athletic players in the NBA, could we say that they split it at 1-1?

While it was a tremendous individual match up to see, it was the Bucks who reigned supreme in the end, 120-108. Antetokounmpo had a monster double-double with 34 points and 17 rebounds. Meanwhile, Khris Middleton added 20 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for the league-leading Milwaukee franchise.

Williamson, on the other hand, had 20 points, seven rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes of play. Brandon Ingram led the way for the Pelicans in a losing effort, dropping 32 points on top of seven boards.
