LOS ANGELES — The New Orleans Pelicans have themselves a low-maintenance stud who would rather talk about his teammates than his own individual performances.
Rookie sensation Zion Williamson has turned down almost every one-on-one interview request this season. He’s simply not comfortable talking about himself, and when questions are asked of the jaw-dropping rim-rattlers he throws down nightly, he often deflects and mentions how his teammates or coaching staff set him up for success.
At 19 years old, he has the basketball world impatiently waiting and craving for a visual of his next spectacular play and he knows it.
