I keep thinking never in a million years would I have thought we’d have been in this game or been in the situation we’re in.” ZION WILLIAMSON ON THE SLAM DUNK CONTEST After the game, Williamson talked about his intentions for the Slam Dunk contest. He said that he will participate in the contest of his team stays on top. “If we’re the best team in the league, I’ll do it for sure,” Williamson said as per Ben Golliver [https://twitter.com/BenGolliver/status/1228439452835622912?s=20] of Washington Post. “But if not, I’ll think about it.” Williamson took the exhibition game on Friday as a stage to impress the fans with his abilities.
