Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Zion Williamson laughing at reporter’s question on How they would celebrate winning the NBA CUP during press conference with BI
Mills launched a tweet storm soon after, sharing her side of the story with her over one million X followers. The ensuing public drama created a storm that enthralled many.
It is no wonder many fans’ minds quickly jumped to the Mills saga when Williamson loudly cracked up when asked how he was going to celebrate if the Pelicans won the In-Season Tournament, which also comes with a $500,000 prize per winning player.
Williamson has been the missing key to the Pelicans’ success mainly due to his inability to stay on the court. Although he played most of the 2020-21 season, he missed the entire next season with a foot injury and only played in 29 games last season because of a hamstring injury.Williamson has managed to stay away from injuries this season and has been delivering in the past month, albeit inconsistently, scoring 20 or more points in seven of his past 10 games.
At the very least, players on the four remaining teams—the Pelicans, Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers—have already earned $150,000 per player by reaching the semifinals. The winning team will secure $500,000 per player, while that number will be $200,000 for the runners-up.
So they’ll have some spare coin to throw that party, or whatever it is that Ingram and Williamson have planned.
“Nah, we ain’t thought about it,” Ingram said. “But I know it’s gonna be a good time.”
“Yessir,” Williamson added. “Yessir.”
