After putting up 34 points in his Madison Square Garden debut, Zion Williamson said something that had to put smiles on the faces of Knicks fans.
"New York is the mecca of basketball," Zion said. "I loved playing here when I played here in college. This is my first time playing in the pros and this atmosphere whether they are cheering for you or booking for you, it’s amazing.
"I honestly think outside of New Orleans, this might be my favorite place to play. I can’t lie to you."
Knicks fans had been dying to draft Williamson in 2019, but did not get that lucky in the lottery.
