In the history of the NBA, only a handful of prospects received hype like Zion Williamson did back in the 2019 draft. Till now, he has failed to live up to it for his team, New Orleans Pelicans, due to injuries and indiscipline. Recently, he was seen making potentially his best-ever comeback to the NBA with an insane body transformation.

All the fans, though, were not quite supportive of him on his current journey. A few were quick to let their frustration know as the 23-year-old received a mixed reaction upon his coveted return to the league.

The comeback of Zion Williamson

Since joining the Pelicans in 2019, Zion has only played 114 NBA games, which is only 39.7% of the team’s games during that period. With glimpses of greatness and two All-star awards already, there has never been any question about his talent. The only criticism has been his lack of consistency.

This off-season, he is planning to change all of that with his workout routine. Recently, images of his praiseworthy body transformation surfaced on the internet. He looks fitter than ever before as he eyes to make a memorable comeback to the league since being sidelined earlier this year.
