New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson simply overpowered the competition back in his high school days in Spartanburg Day and college year in Duke.
Seems like that strength even translates in the big leagues, evidenced by how he bullied the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. Williamson flexed his muscles during NOLA's trip to the Chase Center.
The 19-year-old athletic marvel short-armed his free throw but managed to corral his own miss against several Dubs players. He missed his follow-up attempt but would not be denied.
Like taking candy from a baby, Williamson simply ripped the ball away from Damion Lee and finished the lay-in plus the foul from Kevon Looney.

āThat should be illegal. That's just bully ball,ā the Warriors' in-house announcer said after the impressive sequence.
Zion Williamson, meanwhile, has been as good as promised for the Pels since returning from a knee injury. He is notching 22.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.3 assists while shooting 57.8 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from three entering Sunday's match.
