NBA World Reacts To The Zion Williamson News

The Pels gave Williamson a five-year rookie max contract extension worth up to $231 million.

That’s a massive payday for the injury-prone star but it’s a sign that not only is he healthy again, he’s ready to lead the team to greatness.

As you can expect, fans of the Pelicans were delighted by the news.

For weeks now, New Orleans fans have been loving what they’ve seen from Williamson, who is seemingly not only healed from his foot injury but also improved.

The man looks like an absolute beast and it’s causing people to remember just how talented he is.

Many people forget that Williamson had the most points in the paint since Shaquille O’Neal back in 1999.

Williamson is looking so strong, in fact, that people are worrying what he will do to other players in the league.

It’s been a while since Williamson played in the league – he’s been out of the game for over a year – so there are many athletes who will quickly remember just how powerful and special he is.

Expect some massive dunks and roughed-up players when Williamson is back on the court.

But all fans are remembering that Williamson isn’t alone on the team.

Luckily, he is part of a very young up-and-coming squad that is getting increasingly deeper.

The team doesn’t begin and end with Williamson and that’s a very good thing.

He is now one piece in a much bigger, better puzzle.
