Zion Hypometer: Sharply Higher

Watch as Zion Williamson conquers the youth Harlem

The NBA season doesn’t start for a few more weeks so we’ll have to wait a bit too see something like this from Zion Williamson in actual competition.

So until then, enjoy this pretty nifty between the legs dunk. The crowd that saw it certainly appeared to.

You’ll have to scroll down a bit to see it. If you don’t use Instagram, you can check this page instead.

Also worth checking out: Zion has the shoes he plans to wear for his rookie season: Air Jordan 34s.

The other thing that’s clear in these videos and in Williamson’s comments is that he has already forged a deep bond with his fans. Those kids in New York are just about in rapture over his appearance and don’t overlook the significance of what he says here: he’s not about to let people who care about him down.

Aside from his spectacular gifts, if you want to look at the secret of his appeal, it’s that reciprocity as much as anything.
