Before becoming an NBA star, Zion Williamson played for the Spartanburg Griffins in high school where he won three straight state championships and was named All-American. He then took his talents to Duke university, where he won ACC Player of the Year. Zion also broke the single-game school scoring record as a freshman, scoring 35 points.

We watched a ton of Zion highlight videos and we’ve listed the best ones below. We even included a mini-documentary where you will understand where he came from and how he deals with the popularity that comes with being a rising superstar.
