A high-five seems to be a hard thing to get for Josh Hart. After almost making it a trait during his Los Angeles Lakers days, Hart brought it to New Orleans Pelicans. On Thursday, it was Zion Williamson who missed Josh Hart approaching for a high-five.
During the game against Oklahoma City Thunder, Williamson drew a foul against Chris Paul as Hart approached him to celebrate. Williamson however, didn’t have his attention towards Hart and went right past him.

Since much before his NBA debut, Zion Williamson has been considered to be one of the most exciting prospects. Having drafted him with the first overall pick, New Orleans Pelicans had to wait before fielding him in an NBA game. They were extremely careful with the teenager. The Pelicans not only took care of the injury they also took measures to prevent Williamson from getting injured again.
Zion Williamson is now over 200 points (and counting) through 10 career games…
Over the last 30 seasons, the only former No. 1 picks to score 200 points within their first 10 career games are Hall of Famers Shaquille O’Neal (238 in 1992-93) and Allen Iverson (224 in 1996-97). pic.twitter.com/kDPrJec0nu
