Zion Williamson is turning 20 years old today, but he’s already cemented himself as the one NBA player to watch over the next decade

He is no longer a teenager, but that’s okay because he hasn’t felt like one in quite some time.

“My birthday, I don’t really see it as a special day, to be honest,” Zion Williamson said to media on a Zoom conference call last week. “It’s just another day for me. But I just thank God that I’m hopefully able to make it to 20. But it’s weird (to not be a teenager anymore), but in a weird way I haven’t felt like a teenager in a long time, so I feel like it’s not going to be anything different.
