Zion singlehandedly led the winning charge against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second half. Going as far as notching a 13-0 run on his own, Williamson showed unparalleled dominance during his time on the court.

From an emphatic poster dunk on Rudy Gobert to a calm and collected free throw to give his team a one-point lead in the dying moments of the game, Zion did it all.

Earning his place in the MVP discussion, Zion Williamson leads the New Orleans Pelicans to the best record in the West.

Zion Williamson lights it up in December

​

As the end of the calendar year nears, New Orleans Pelicans superstar Zion Williamson did a solid job lighting it up in December. Leading the Pelicans to a 6-4 record while on the floor this month, Williamson has kept his team in the top spot in the West.

A stretch of 10 games in December has seen the 22-year-old dominate in every sense of the word. Playing without star teammate Brandon Ingram, Zion has done a great job contributing across the board.

Barring a timid performance in the loss against the Milwaukee Bucks, Williamson put on a scoring clinic in almost every game. While scoring with extreme efficiency, Zion has notched over 30+ points in six of the 10 games he played in December.

Overall, Williamson has had a great season thus far. Notching an average of 25.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, Zion is truly in top form this season.

Considering his recent performances, some analysts have even viewed Williamson as a potential MVP candidate. As a vital member of one of the most talented young cores in the NBA, Zion has to continue to produce at a high level while winning games to ensure his name remains in the discussion.
