Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett aren’t just two star players on an outstanding college basketball team. They’re also really close friends and great supporters of each other.
In fact, during Duke’s win over North Dakota State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday, a photo of Williamson celebrating a dunk by Barrett went viral. Two things stood out in the photo: just how absurdly high Williamson was above the ground, and how hyped he was for his teammate.

It’s hard to beat those. It’s even harder to beat Duke.
The Blue Devils won 85-62, getting 25 from Zion and 26 from Barrett.
