Zion Williamson Reunites With High School Opponent Bryson Bishop, Recreates Viral Moment

After rehabbing his way back into form, Zion Williams is looking better than ever. This has caused a real hype within the NBA, and fans expect great things from the Pelicans forward.

But even before his NBA days, Zion already was a star in the media. High school and college games were broadcasted and drew huge crowds.

Zion played against low-level talent in Class AA of the South Carolina Independent School Association, and one of his most famous and viral clips is when he was guarded by an undersized (5’6″) and younger Bryson Bishop, who gave it his all and refused to back down.

Zion and Bishop got together again last night in Birmingham, Alabama as the Pelicans were in town for a preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Bishop,who’s a freshman on the Birmingham-Southern Panthers men’s basketball team these days, recreated the viral moment with Williamson in the hallway of the arena.
