THE LINE WAS wrapped around the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas. It was July 5, 2019, and the debut of Zion Williamson was here.
After waiting through the first three games, fans were eager to see the main event: Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans taking on the New York Knicks and his former Duke teammate, RJ Barrett.
It didn't take long for Williamson to show off exactly why people were so excited about his NBA potential.
With a little less than five minutes left in the first quarter, Pelicans guard Trevon Bluiett missed a floater in the lane.
