VIDEO: LeBron James Toasts Zion Williamson and Takes Him to the Rim in Rematch With Pelicans
By Adam Weinrib
If Pelicans-Lakers becomes a 1-8 playoff series, you'd sign up for that, right? In an effort to give us a clearer picture of what that heavyweight battle might look like, Zion Williamson chose to match up one-on-one with LeBron James on the perimeter on Sunday evening, and he got toasted by the 17-year veteran.
No Kings in the above video are washed, FYI.
The two teams played three up-and-down quarters in Los Angeles last week, but the upstart Pels were ultimately run out of the gym in the fourth quarter, ruined by LeBron's 40 points. There's barely been an advantage in either direction, though, and we're excited for the next chapter -- just two games out of the eighth spot with an easy schedule ahead of them, this is a very possible postseason matchup indeed.
