Slumping NBA needs the Zion story

Zion Williamson makes his long-awaited NBA debut for the Pelicans tonight, and Colin can’t wait to watch. Zion hasn’t proven anything at the NBA level, but he’s already a star because he’s has the undeniable magic DNA that creates the rare urgency to make fans rush to a TV for an otherwise meaningless regular season game in January. After approaching two decades of LeBron vs. the league storyline, Zion is exactly the new energy the NBA needs. If you don’t think he’s a star, watch the ratings tonight.
