Zion Williamson and Duke hadn’t played since Dec. 20, but apparently Zion hasn’t forgotten how to dunk.
The 6-foot-7 Duke freshman blew up the Internet Saturday with this 360-degree dunk against Clemson.
“It was about a 7, 8 out of 10,” Williamson said.

I just froze and screen-grabbed a shot of Zion Williamson’s 360 from earlier tonight… at THE END of the dunk, which somehow ends up being the height of his jump. Peep how high he is AFTER the spin. pic.twitter.com/DMOxQxzIm7

It was his 30th dunk this season at Cameron Indoor Stadium, compared with 28 for opponents.
Williamson finished with 28 points and 10 rebounds in the 87-68 win over Clemson.
He is the projected No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft and right now the Cavaliers, Suns, Bull, Knicks and Hawks have the NBA’s worst records in that order.
