Duke Basketball: Why Zion Williamson should reincarnate the floor slap

Now that the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has renamed the court in its Dean Dome to honor current head coach Roy Williams, it will soon be time for the 2018-19 Duke basketball team to figure out a way to put a giant dent in it.

The best way to do that — while also ramping up the team’s defensive effort throughout the season — is for freshman sensation Zion Williamson to pound the ground with both hands at the beginning of every possession of the Blue Devils’ opponents.

Sure, it’s true that the act of passion can lose its impact when it’s overdone and regularly ends in failure.
