Shaquille O'Neal criticized Zion Williamson
Shaquille O'Neal criticized New Orleans Pelicans' player Zion Williamson following his lackluster performance in the NBA-In Season Tournament semifinal. O'Neal particularly highlighted Williamson's disappointing 13-point performance against the LA Lakers, expressing dissatisfaction with his body language and on-court demeanor.
"He does not run hard. He doesn't seal. He doesn't demand the ball. Like you got a small guy and we talk about it all the time," said Shaq during the Lakers vs Pelicans game.
O'Neal's critique underscored Williamson's need to show more assertiveness and drive on the court, emphasizing the expectations placed on him as a key player for the Pelicans. His criticism of Zion Williamson's performance shed light on the high standards and expectations associated with the young player's role in the Pelicans' lineup.
"I got to be better," Zion Williamson said addressing his lacking.
He added:
"I got to be more aggressive, finding my shot. I got to do more things to get my team going. I think I was too laid-back tonight, and I just can't do that. And defensively I got to be better."
