Zion Williamson highlight reel from Duke’s NCAA Tournament win vs. North Dakota State
By Kareem Gantt
Zion Williamson is a human highlight reel, and he surely provided us with great highlights against NDSU in Round 1 of the NCAA Tournament.
Zion Williamson is a human highlight reel, so much so that CBS gave him his own dedicated camera for Duke’s tilt with North Dakota State and it didn’t disappoint.
Called the “Zion Cam,” it is geared to give us mere mortals another, gravity-defying look at all of the special highlights that Zion will be providing in their opening round matchup, especially since he’ll be playing in his home state of South Carolina over the weekend.
So, as a public record of sorts, here’s all of the insane stuff that Zion did tonight when he scored 25 points on 12-16 shooting. Have the popcorn on deck, folks.
Zion block
Zion has been “Lord of the Block Shot” all season, using his incredible vertical leap to swat numerous balls into the fifth row. In the early stages of tonight’s game, he didn’t disappoint, sending an NDSU layup flying to Section 201. Another reason why Zion should be paid to play college ball.
Zion’s two-handed power slam
How many teams have Zion devastated with his two-handed monster slams? Add NDSU to that list.

I’ve always said — on here and on Twitter — that Zion is a man playing among little-league boys on the basketball court. When Duke needed some life, Zion, once again, became a grown man among boys, powering his way for an And-1 that just takes your breath away.

And, because Zion has to cover up the fact that he has to work hard on those free-throws, he gathers his own rebound off the miss and throws down a sick one-handed monster slam.
Zion is not human, y’all.
Zion: “Man of Steal”
It was time for Zion and Duke to put the nail in the coffin for NDSU’s upset hopes, and he did just that, stealing the ball and taking it to the rim for a nifty layup that will have Twitter buzzing all night.

Zion always had the range, and he stuck a dagger in the hearts of NDSU fans with this three from downtown Columbia.

I can’t wait to see Zion in the NBA Dunk Contest, seeing as though his one-handed monsters can be felt up-and-down the East Coast. That’s no exaggeration, folks, that’s a fact.
