Zion Williamson, all of 18 years old, heard cheers in Madison Square Garden Thursday night like few people will ever experience in their lifetimes. It's easy to get lost in the dunks, the entertainment value that comes with the Zion Williamson Experience, and to be sure, that's important for whichever lottery team adds him next season. "Growing up, my mom and my stepdad always taught me that what I really want to do is not just basketball," Williamson said. No one in the crowd knows what to expect whenever he is on the court, mostly because Zion Williamson is even surprising himself. In that way, and only that way, Zion Williamson is just like everybody else.
