Fans captivated by photo of Zion Williamson celebrating RJ Barrett dunk
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.
