Zion Williamson made a hardwood floor look like a trampoline in this video he shared on Instagram

“I don’t jump up. The Earth beneath me jumps down.” – Zion Williamson, probably.

Man. It’s been far too long since we’ve seen Zion Williamson playing actual basketball.

And I know it’s been far too long because when Williamson posted a video of him dunking on Instagram in an empty gym, there were a lot of people on the internet who were basically just like “please stay healthy and wake me up when you’re playing an NBA game.”

That is a sentiment I can appreciate, for sure. Obviously, Zion needs to stay healthy and we would all love to see him back on the court with the Pelicans.

But y’all. In the meantime, this dunk? THIS. DUNK. This thing is insane. Just…just look at it, man.

OK. So, let’s keep it a buck, right? This dunk probably wins the dunk contest this year. It is an off-the-backboard between-the-legs dunk. That’s…not easy. At all.

But that’s not even what has me tripping here. It’s the sheer force that this man is jumping with that has my jaw to the floor.

This is a hardwood floor he is leaping off of pretty effortlessly. But just look at the floor when he jumps. IT BENDS. This dude is pushing the earth down as he jumps up.

This is ridiculous, man. Y’all want to talk about a thunderous dunk? That’s what this is. So, yeah, y’all can sleep on this dunk until he’s on an NBA court. But don’t get mad when he’s dunking on your squad like this.

There were some fans out there who certainly appreciated this properly. Good morning to them and them only.

Now healthy, Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny feels more explosive

Healthy and heading into the 2021 season, Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny feels more explosive than he ever has.

The Seattle Seahawks will have their one-two running back punch this season with newly-extended Chris Carson and full-healthy Rashaad Penny back on the field.

Penny missed most of last season during his lengthy recovery from an ACL injury the year before and appeared in just three games for Seattle. With roster spots always on the line, Penny knew he had to put in the work heading into 2021.

“My biggest thing this offseason was consistency and availability,” Penny told reporters after practice on Thursday. “And that’s kind of the same thing I’m going into the season with.”

Penny had plenty of time to focus on his weight and said he’s the lightest he’s ever been – not to mention, feeling 100%.

“I feel very explosive,” Penny noted. “I honestly feel like I’m back in high school again. I feel way faster.”

All good news for the Seahawks No. 2 back who is definitely playing to keep his spot for next year.
