The Unique Challenge of Photographing a Zion Williamson Dunk

The tournament has begun. But it’s not too late to fill out a bracket. You still can play SI’s Realtime Bracket Challenge. And if your original pick is losing, you can make the call to switch during live games. Sign up now.

When No. 1-seed Duke takes the court Friday night in Greensboro, S.C., take a close look at the baseline. There will be photographers lined up, their cameras tightly trained on the action, all of them waiting for one moment. It’s the one play that’s dominated the college basketball season, the one image that every editor wants to run, the image that no photographer working a Duke game wants to miss: the Zion Williamson breakaway dunk.
