Zion Williamson recaps his game-winning basket | Pelicans at Spurs Postgame 2/2/24

Well was just your uh your Vantage Point on on Brandon’s block and uh what did you see kind of in the open floor that made you say like I got to go right now I and uh take that space it be I don’t get that block uh we

Didn’t have to get a three-pointer to send in an overtime or something and I I literally sent him a text message like right after the game cuz he was already doing his lift like be if you don’t get that block I don’t know if we win this

Game so hat talk to be out on that one but with the space uh like I said my coaches trust me in transition my teammates trust me that’s why Jose kicked it ahead and I had to go finish Willie Willie mentioned to us he was like I I had a timeout and

When I saw Z you know had the ball in transition he’s like wasn’t even thinking about taking it I mean were you even were you aware of the timeout I mean is it just a situation where it’s like we just need a basket right now I got to

Go I just trust my game in that situation transition I can get downhill really well and when I saw that uh uh Jeremy had uh kind of he was in an awkward position I took advantage and I was able to get to the the Vantage

Point uh Victor was one of the the three guys kind of around that play I mean just what was the the battle at The Rim like you know going against him a guy a really talented young shot blacker all game uh I was very aware of where he was

At um so that’s why I had to go with some speed and uh just kind of give us some touch all right the fashion again the t-shirt and then the cross you’ve been wearing that cross every game lately uh the cross for me is I only fear God I

Don’t fear nothing else I only fear God um but the shirt just repping Nola uh got to show my appreciation to some of the Ledgends to come through the town so that’s all this is and big picture you get one game at home and then you’re back out on the

Road for the long Marty gr road trip how challenging is that or or is that something you actually embrace uh it sounds bad but I mean we in La for what three 4 days I don’t think it’s going to be too bad for some of the guys but

Uh it’s a part of the game um part of the schedule and we got a take a game by game and try to get every win I think it’s fair to say that you and Victor approach basketball in very different ways the style of play the way you just

Play both offense and defense what what do you think about his game overall and have you thought about how these battles could be going on for a long time between you two Victor is a very special player uh we were just talking about in the locker

Room he’s a dude that can get two or three defensive player of the years and also I don’t want to put no limit on it but he can get defensive player the years and MVPs uh cuz that we haven’t seen nothing like that we’ve seen things close but not like

That I mean he’s an amazing player and I think especially with pop over there he going to continue to develop you said you said you were aware of where he was on that last play are you kind of looking behind you sneaking a peak or cuz he came from behind didn’t he oh

Yeah uh I mean you you got to be aware of stuff like that I mean like I said he got the block shot on me two players before and I thought I had the layup so I mean in situation like that I you got to be aware where everybody’s

At right than you guys have a great night
