Watch: 1-on-5 is no problem for Pelicans' Zion Williamson

By Mike Santa Barbara | Last updated 11/4/23

New Orleans Pelicans power forward Zion Williamson doesn't wear a cape on the court, but he played Superman briefly on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Early in the second half, Williamson ran ahead of the field, taking on the entire Hawks squad before finishing with a pretty lay-in at the cup.

Zion goes 1 on 5... and he's got the Pelicans last 13 points!

Before showing off his flashy side, Williamson showed he could get up despite his 6-foot-6, 284-pound frame. Finding himself all alone at the Hawks end late in the first half, Williamson broke out a thunderous windmill dunk.
