Zion Williamson’s new physique has the attention of basketball fans. When Zion Williamson was first recruited into the New Orleans Pelicans, there were concerns about his conditioning. Some felt he had gained too much weight and that his knee injury was exacerbating him and keeping him off the court. When Williamson finally returned to the court in January, he was nothing short of dominant, however, it was still rumored that excess weight could be a problem for his knees. Well, it seems that Zion heard those criticisms loud and clear, as he showed off his new physique today. In a photo posted to the Pelicans’ Twitter account, Williamson looks incredibly shocked, which is bad news for all Western Conference teams that might have to face him in the first round of the playoffs (staring at you, Lakers). As you can imagine, the social media reaction to Zion’s new form was quite funny, as fans were amazed at his ability to transform during the blockade. Clearly, exercising became a priority for Zion, and now, he seems like one of the league’s most athletic players. Look at what people had to say, below.
