Luka Doncic and Zion Williamson were at Pier 54 this Saturday to attend basketball games, but also answer some questions from fans. The opportunity for the Slovenian to come out with a little joke about his counterpart, who had a lot of fun. Lots of respect between the two men.
Both on vacation for a few more months, Luka Doncic and Zion Williamson will return to their respective teams at the start of the school year and with the same objective: the title. They will also be in an almost direct duel since the Mavs and the Pels are in the Western Conference. The latter is denser than ever and promises to be explosive, with franchises that will inevitably be a little disappointed before the start of the playoffs. But for now, it’s mostly about working on your game.
Doncic has been busy this summer, with a lot of physical work to keep in shape. For Zion, same objective, he who comes out of a white season and has just signed a maximum extension with New Orleans. No room for error for the product of Duke, which agreed with its counterpart a little good time on the side of platform 54 this Saturday. The two were able to watch basketball, with some entertainment as a bonus.
When Luka rooms Zion at Pier 54
As we said, they were also able to meet fans and journalists, just to answer a few questions. Time for someone to ask a relatively simple question: If Luka could, what would he want to take from Zion’s game? Doncic did not hesitate to draw with a little joke, which made everyone laugh.

“I’m not going to say his jump, because we have the same one. (laughs)”
Zion is known to martyr the circles with his jump, understand by this his ability to rise towards the circle to sanction. Luka? Let’s just say he’s not known for the same quality, hence the fact that he’s having fun with it. There is still a lot of respect between the two, even if we can’t wait to meet them face-to-face next year. In the meantime, they are enjoying their time in France:

Luka Doncic may not have the same jump as Zion Williamson, but he has a sense of humor, that’s for sure. In any case, count on the two men to work hard in the coming months, with the objective of winning a first title. The future of the league is here.
