Tom Izzo feels that his best chance at shutting down Zion Williamson in Michigan State’s game against Duke on Sunday may be bringing in one of the most feared defenders in the NFL, and it looks like the Chicago Bears are ready to help make that happen.
Izzo said Saturday that Williamson is a close comparison to Superman, and the coach joked that he might see if he can borrow Khalil Mack to defend the Duke star. The Bears had an outstanding response:

Mack is terrifying on a football field going against 300-pound offensive linemen, so you can imagine what he’d look like in a basketball game. Williamson is probably one of the only guys that wouldn’t run and hide from him.
Williamson has been doing things on the court this season that you would have to see to believe, and the same can be said for Mack on the gridiron. A matchup between the two of them in any sport would be intriguing.
