Summary

Zion Williamson of the Pelicans has yet to play a game this season due to a fractured foot. He has played in only 85 career games in three seasons. Yesterday he posted a five second video clip of him dunking on his Instagram page. Why? Who cares? I am supposed to be impressed that Williamson can throw the ball off the backboard and do a fancy dunk? I'm not impressed. I will be impressed when I seem him on the court in a real game. What is the purpose of showing a dunk on social media? I don't get it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
