NBA Players Like LeBron James & Steph Curry Are Talking About Zion Williamson
Williamson is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NBA draft. The Duke big man has become so much of a star that NBA players are talking about him. Steph Curry admitted he is a topic of discussion in the Warriors locker room.
“He’s unreal. We were talking about him the other day in our team room,” Curry told The Undefeated. “He has a lot of hype around him and he’s unbelievably talented, but you can’t teach, like, his passion and the way that … he plays. He plays hard every possession, and that’s an underrated skill that kids can … emulate.”
Williamson has grown a following since his high school days thanks to his viral dunks. Williamson’s stardom has been compared to LeBron James, and the Lakers star is not shooting down the comparisons.
“I never tooted my nose up or had anything to say about the comparison to me and Zion and Zion to me,” James explained to The Undefeated. “I think it’s great — I think it’s great for the game.”
James recently attended the Duke-Virginia matchup causing many to speculate Williamson will sign with Klutch Sports run by his childhood friend, Rich Paul.
“A recruiting trip? I didn’t talk to anybody,” James told ESPN. “They’re only saying that because it’s Rich. When Shaq came to see me play in high school, when A.I. came to see me play in high school, they weren’t saying it was a recruiting trip then. But because it’s Rich Paul and LeBron, now it’s a recruitment trip.”
