"Grant Williamson Just Zion'd His Shoe": NBA Twitter Erupts with Hilarious Reactions as Celtics forward Blew Up his Air Jordan 37s 

Celtics forward Grant Williams busts his shoe mid-game against the Toronto Raptors, reminding us of a similar episode Duke sensation Zion Williamson faced. 

Fortunately, Grant Williams is alright in what could have been a grave injury. During a preseason game against the Raports, the 6ft 6′ Celtics forward would bust his shoe as he attempted a fastbreak euro step. Ultimately, tumbling down over 6ft 8′ veteran Thaddeus Young as he released the ball.

With everyone eager to know the kicks Williams was wearing, on viewing the play again, fans were quick to point out that the 23-year-old had donned a pair of Air Jordan 37s. Surprisingly, this incident had a  Zion Williamson connection.

At the time, Zion was playing for Duke, touted as the next big thing, with the likes of former USA President Barack Obama visiting him during a college basketball game against North Carolina.

A few seconds into the game, the power forward busted his shoe, resulting in a knee injury, leaving everyone stunned, including USA’s 44th President. In the case of Zion, he was wearing Nike’s PG 2.5.
