Pelicans’ forward Zion Williamson has been under the microscope since he joined the league.
Coming out of college as the hottest prospect in years, Williamson’s impressive build brought outsized attention. Now in his fifth year in the NBA, critics have called on Williamson to take better care of his body if he wants to become the best player he can be.
Last week, Williamson responded to such criticism from Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley of Inside the NBA, thanking them if their comments came from a place of kindness, and dismissing their comments if they came from anywhere else.
