The frosty relationship between Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans is at a pivotal juncture. The next few months could determine whether the franchise becomes an NBA title contender or if Zion will ever achieve his potential. Unlike Anthony Davis, Zion’s commitment to being an MVP contender is in question. His fitness and dedication to being in top shape are concerns for the Pelicans. Reports have emerged about strict conditions in his contract related to his weight and body fat percentage, adding to the tension. Despite their current standings, Zion’s performance numbers are trending down, and his physical conditioning has been criticized. While the Pelicans want him to live up to his potential, the situation is highly volatile, and if Zion does not find the motivation to dominate the league, he may not live up to his potential, becoming another “what might have been” prospect in the NBA.
