During the stretch run of last year’s inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament, Zion Williamson could not maintain his superstar form.
Williamson disappointed with only 13 points during the In-Season Tournament semifinals against the Los Angeles Lakers, looking overweight and lethargic.
The former top overall pick’s appearance led to tons of jabs and the need for a serious shift in routine from Williamson.
In current day, Williamson looks to be in the best shape of his career with a photo that surfaced from his recent basketball camp.
Here is some of the fan reaction to Williamson’s new figure.

‘He looks amazing!’ one NBA fan said on X.
‘That’s Jaylen Brown,’ another basketball fan said, comparing Williamson to the Boston Celtics star.
‘Zion dun got ahold of Ozempic,’ one person said on social media.
‘That’s how an ex fat man smile by habit, believe me I know; he’s in a great shape. The hype with Zion was in the levels of LeBron, hope he continues to improve,’ another fan concluded.

Williamson was the No 1 overall selection in the 2019 NBA Draft after a stellar season at Duke, helping the Blue Devils get to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.
Williamson has had a disjointed NBA career with consistent injuries, slowing him from being considered among the elite players in the league.
When Williamson has been fully healthy, he has looked as dominant at times as he did at Duke and in high school.
The only challenge for Williamson now is maintaining that form throughout an entire season.
