Amid Zion Williamson’s Concerning Revelation, Celtics Legend Kevin Garnett Slaps 5-Worded Message on NBA Star

The past few months have been challenging, even torturous, for Zion Williamson. The New Orleans Pelicans forward has constantly faced jibes about his weight and injury troubles. In addition, the joyous moment of his girlfriend’s pregnancy announcement lasted only days before a former adult actress came out with outlandish claims about the NBA star. Times have surely been better for the two-time All-Star. At least they were simpler when he was a vicious force with the Blue Devils.

Recently, a fan compiled some of Williamson’s meanest moments with Duke. It got the attention of NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett, who sent a demanding message to the 2019 first-overall pick.

Kevin Garnett wants the monstrous Zion Williamson to return

Before the baby mama drama and whispers of frustration, Zion Williamson was the most feared college basketball player. With a rare combination of skill, size, and athleticism, there was no one quite like him. He was the Blue Devils’ cornerstone, nurtured by legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski. Each game had crowds lining up to get a glimpse of the now 23-year-old.

He was named the College Player of The Year, won the Karl Malone award, and was even touted as a prospect as good as Michael Jordan. Yet those times fast cleared away. Presently, Williamson has been in a struggling battle with staying healthy, constantly dealing with injuries due to his uncommon build. On top of that, he has had to face the scrutiny of the NBA world for his controversy with Moriah Mills. He broke his silence a few days ago with a cryptic message. He shared a screen grab listening to The Notorious B.I.G’s ‘Suicidal Thoughts’.

It sent an alarming alert. However, he is finding uplifting support, especially from the Big Ticket. Kevin Garnett has been an avid fan of the Pelicans ace. The Boston Celtics legend, while disregarding the injury worries, has always shown unwavering belief in Williamson’s abilities. As a fan shared the ultimate Duke highlight reel, it prompted Garnett’s excitement.

“Yea.. we need this Zion,“ he wrote on his Instagram stories. Garnett is only one of many who are backing Zion Williamson. The overwhelming support has clearly reflected in his optimistic mindset and even his progress. During a recent appearance on the Gilbert Arenas podcast, the 23-year-old appeared visibly slim, even drawing the eyes of the hosts.

The signs are pointing toward Zion Williamson being in a positive bubble, one he can flourish in. After all that has transpired, do you think he will respond with a season rivaling his electrifying stint with Duke? Let us know in the comments below.
