The NBA is officially back now, with the Utah Jazz and New Orleans Pelicans kicking off the first of two games tonight in Orlando and everything just feels a little bit better right now.
The Pelicans being back means Zion Williamson is back to doing Zion Williamson things, as he started against the Jazz and was expected to play in short bursts.
Well, it didn’t take long for Zion to throw down a perfect, long-range alley-oop from Lonzo Ball, which is something we saw way back in March before the world hit pause to battle a global pandemic.
Check out this thing of beauty:

I mean, that looked way too easy.
NBA Twitter loved it:
I could watch Lonzo lobs to Zion all day

I've never tried to alley-oop someone in a game, but I have to imagine it's not as easy as Lonzo and Zion just made it look
