Man. It’s been far too long since we’ve seen Zion Williamson playing actual basketball.
And I know it’s been far too long because when Williamson posted a video of him dunking on Instagram in an empty gym, there were a lot of people on the internet who were basically just like “please stay healthy and wake me up when you’re playing an NBA game.”
That is a sentiment I can appreciate, for sure. Obviously, Zion needs to stay healthy and we would all love to see him back on the court with the Pelicans.
But y’all. In the meantime, this dunk? THIS. DUNK. This thing is insane. Just…just look at it, man.
Zion Williamson just posted this to his IG story:

OK. So, let’s keep it a buck, right? This dunk probably wins the dunk contest this year. It is an off-the-backboard between-the-legs dunk. That’s…not easy. At all.
But that’s not even what has me tripping here. It’s the sheer force that this man is jumping with that has my jaw to the floor.
This is a hardwood floor he is leaping off of pretty effortlessly. But just look at the floor when he jumps. IT BENDS. This dude is pushing the earth down as he jumps up.
Nah watch the floor 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/N6nmGRvFRo

This is ridiculous, man. Y’all want to talk about a thunderous dunk? That’s what this is. So, yeah, y’all can sleep on this dunk until he’s on an NBA court. But don’t get mad when he’s dunking on your squad like this.
There were some fans out there who certainly appreciated this properly. Good morning to them and them only.
