VIDEO: Zion Williamson Misses Wide Open Dunk Against Lakers in First Lowlight of NBA Career
By Adam Weinrib
Apparently, Zion Williamson makes mistakes, too. In a bizarre display early on against the Lakers on Sunday night, Williamson had a shot to throw down a thunder dunk in wide open space under the rim, and as we all braced for impact, the ball instead...rimmed out? That...can happen?
Truly, it seemed like all parties were so prepared for impact that we simply forgot to complete the task at hand.
Williamson was seen jogging down the court and laughing in the aftermath, but man, we've never seen the air sucked so effectively from an arena in one fell swoop, like a gust of pressurized air escaping a broken shoe.
