$4 Million Worth Rapper’s Gift to Zion Williamson the Secret Incredible 2022-2023 Performance?

During the 2021 offseason, news broke out that Zion Williamson would be missing out on the first few weeks of the 2021-2022 campaign with a foot injury. Apart from several delays in his return, fans weren’t really given any other insight. However, David Griffin and co. finally revealed that Zanos would be sidelined for the entirety of the season.

Not seeing Zion in action for nearly two years, every NOLA supporter had the date 19th October 2022 earmarked on their calendars. And safe to say, the former Duke Blue Devil didn’t disappoint in his first game back after a long break.

Recording 25 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 steals, the 6-foot-6 forward led Willie Green’s boys to a 130-108 blowout win against Kevin Durant’s Brooklyn Nets.

While the celebrations for the Louisiana-based franchise started after their 1st regular-season clash of 22-23, Zion actually was the recipient of a gift just a day before.

Fat Joe gifted Zion Williamson a “Terror Squad” Chain

Fat Joe was a bit too happy knowing that fact that the youngster was playing NBA basketball again. The $4 million worth American Rapper decided to hook the southpaw up with a custom “Terror Squad” Chain. The 52-year-old gifted Williamson with the jewelry that was made by Avi Davidov, owner of the popular Pristine Jewelers.

Zion, who already owns a Thanos-themed chain, also bought a watch from the world-renowned jeweler. It wasn’t just any other watch. It took Avi 10 days and costed Zion somewhere in 6 figures. And with the latest purchase, the 22-year-old joined the likes of Diddy, Meek Mill, Nas, DJ Khaled, N.O.R.E., and Gucci Mane as celebrities with watches bought from Davidov.

Zion’s impressive 2022-2023 campaign

The highflyer is having a terrific season so far. Apart from leading the Pels to a 24-14 record, merely 0.5 games behind the #1 Nuggets, he himself is playing at an All-NBA level.

Ranked #7 in the latest MVP Ladder, the slasher has put up 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. However, the forward has sustained a hamstring injury and is out for the next few weeks.

Despite missing out on games, there is absolutely no doubt that the dominant forward will help NOLA climb up the Western Conference standings when he is fit and ready.
