“Zion Williamson really got his revenge on RJ Barrett”: When the Pels star blocked the Knicks star after getting dunked on in the Duke’s Scrimmage

Back in 2018, during Duke’s Blue-White Scrimmage, Zion Williamson send RJ Barrett’s shots back to the stands after getting dunked on.

Long before Zion Williamson was a menace at the NBA level, he was an incredible talent at Duke. Averaging 22.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.1 steals, 1.8 blocks, on 68% shooting from the field in his lone year as a Duke Blue Devil, Zion was an absolute problem for college defenders.

Playing under the legendary Coach K, “Zanos” had a pretty successful year, with numerous jaw-dropping plays every other game. Several highlights come to mind when talking about his outstanding year – it was his famous block against Virginia, that one time when he almost deflated the ball with his fingers, or his numerous dunks, or that one time when Zion’s feet literally burst out of his shoes.
