VIDEO: Antonio Brown Botches Pronunciation of Zion Williamson's Name in Clip During Saints Visit
By Michael Luciano
One of the biggest sports stars in New Orleans and the most controversial star across all of American sports at the moment finally crossed paths with each other, and it was just as awkward as you would expect. Free agent wide receiver Antonio Brown, trying to latch on to team No. 4 in 2019 after his workout with the New Orleans Saints, and New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson met up at the teams' adjoining practice facilities, and Brown tried his best to ingratiate himself with the people of New Orleans by cozying up to Zion, which he incorrectly pronounces as "Zee-on."

Why is Williamson even hanging out with AB? He's got walking practice today!
Williamson has yet to play in a game for the Pelicans this season due to his knee injury, while Brown has played in just one NFL game due to his behavior off the field.
Talk about two totally different personalities.
“zee-on” doesn’t look like he wants any part of him lmaooooo

Williamson is on the path to stardom before he even turns 20, while Brown is trying to get back in the league after months of consistent, unyielding controversial behavior. Hopefully this the last time these two ever cross paths.
