In response to all of these revisions, Stephen A. Smith made the following insightful observation:
“I’m just looking at Zion right now and I think about the Pelicans and if this brother is on the basketball court, it’s a different animal.”
Smith then jokingly brought up Zion Williamson’s final game, in which the Pels lost to the Lakers in the Play-in round. Looking back at the game, Zion’s (40 points, 11 rebounds) late injury nearly put an end to the Lakers’ chances of winning (106–110). He said,
“When he’s on the basketball court ladies and gentlemen, this is a superstar in the making… He’s box office and he’s a Manchild incredibly powerful.”
Smith continued by listing the Western Conference’s dominant teams, including the Mavericks, OKC Thunder, Wolves, Nuggets, Suns, Sac Town, and Clippers. He added : “You can look at all of these teams somebody going home if Zion Williamson is 100% And he playing in the playoff.”
