I suppose the visual of Zion Williamson soaring through the air and committing acts of terror against either the basket or opponents that play far under it should no longer be surprising. After all, we're talking about a kid who became a household name in high school by looking as though he was playing on a household hoop against competition that was more likely to be mistaken as his children than presumed to be his peers. Him treating other teenagers like parking cones while abusing a rim of regulation height like it was manufactured by Fisher Price is nothing new... That said, him making college competition look almost as overmatched as the kids who got put through puberty by his posterizations kinda, sorta is new. I know Virginia Union isn't exactly competing with John Calipari for quality recruits, but they are still a team of "adult" student-athletes that looked like they were attending a Zion Williamson Youth Basketball Camp in having their attempts to get buckets off him fall closer to breaking their face. Whatever company the NCAA employs to provide them with baskets needs to insert that clip in their next commercial because one can only assume that glass is hurricane-proof with how well it withstood that meteoric spike, but that's not even the point. The point is that I'm starting to think it's legitimately a safety hazard for the 18 year old in the body of a brick shit house with wings to put his athletic ability on display at any level less than professional. Someone, or something, is going to get hurt, as he appears to be a less drunk but equally reckless version of Will Smith in Hancock in not knowing his own superhuman strength.
