Zion Williamson was once touted to become the next face of the league. But over the years, Williamson has failed to reach his true potential. 

The New Orleans Pelicans star’s career has been hindered due to several injuries. So much so that he has played just 114 games in his career. Apart from that, the 23-year-old recently found himself amidst a lot of controversy related to porn star Moriah Mills. Amidst such controversies, Trey Murphy III came to Zion Williamson’s support.

“People have to understand that Zion is still a kid,” Murphy III said on the Road Trippin podcast. “He’s younger than I am. He’s been in the league for five years going on, but he’s still a kid, so he’s going to go through these lumps. And he’s going to have times where he needs to, you know, mature like any other kid or young man has to do. You also have to understand he’s been in the limelight since he was 16 years old.

“It’s hard to stay in that limelight for that long and try to not make mistakes. Obviously, some mistakes that you can’t make, some mistakes that you can definitely avoid, but everybody’s human at the end of the day, so you have to give him some grace.”

To be honest, Williamson just turned 23 years old and he has a lot to learn about life. Had Zion been led by quality veterans, he may have never gone down the same path. But at the end of the day, Williamson’s controversies will only help him in becoming a better person.

Zion averaged 26.0 PPG, 7.0 RPG, and 4.6 APG over 29 games in the 2022-23 NBA season. Fans will hope for him to take the next step and play the majority of the season.


Moriah Mills Was Reportedly Offered $1 Million For Her Sex Tape With Zion Williamson

Zion Williamson is a rich athlete, with his current contract worth $197,230,450 over five years. But Williamson may have spent his money with the wrong person in Moriah Mills.

Mills leaked wild DMs of the Pelicans superstar, making him the center of attention for the media. Many are hoping that Zion can move on from the incident and focus on his basketball career. There are a few who are interested in dragging the story. Keeping that in mind, Mills was reportedly offered $1 million to leak her sex tape with Williamson.

Well, before Mills could release the alleged sex tape with Williamson, her Twitter account was suspended.
