There is no doubt that New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson is one of the top players in the game today. Nevertheless, the 20-year-old phenom still isn't immune to the occasional Shaqtin' a Fool moment.
This is exactly what happened on Monday when Zion shot an airball on a wide-open three-point attempt. Unsurprisingly, his blunder received a bit of a hilarious treatment on the much-talked-about ESPN Marvel broadcast:

Zion Williamson is an absolute force on the offense, but he isn't exactly a long-distance marksman. Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green definitely read the scouting report, which explains his lack of urgency in attempting to defend Zion from the three-point line. Green gave Williamson as much space and time as humanly possible, and as it turns out, Dray's gamble worked in his favor.
That shot was so bad that even Zion himself couldn't help but smile about it. All he could do was shake his head in disappointment as he tried to hold back a giggle. The smoke treatment on the replay only made the blunder even more embarrassing for the Pelicans star.
Zion Williamson is as good as they come so he gets a pass here. He may want to keep working on his three-point shot in the summer, though.
