Zion Williamson has been going through it as of late. Overall, ever since he entered the league, there have been concerns about his health. Mostly, this has to do with his weight, which has allegedly gone up to as much as 330 pounds. Ultimately, this is not good, especially when you are supposed to be a franchise cornerstone. Furthermore, things got particularly ugly when the New Orleans Pelicans lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the In-Season Tournament semi-finals. Since that time, everyone has been calling him fat, including Stephen A. Smith, Shaq, and Charles Barkley.
On Monday night, Williamson had himself a bounce-back game of sorts. He dropped 36 points and was flying all over the court. Furthermore, his team ended up beating the Minnesota Timberwolves who are a team that has been playing spectacular basketball this year. After the game, Williamson was asked about some of the criticisms that have come his way as of late. Although Williamson could have been upset, he was very diplomatic about it, instead. His answer definitely showed some maturity.
