Zion Williamson continued his downright disrespectful dunk streak on Walker Kessler

ZION!

New Orleans Pelicans power forward Zion Williamson continued to demolish the NBA’s rims on Tuesday night against the Utah Jazz.

With Williamson finally living up to his astronomical potential this season, the budding superstar posted up another monstrous dunk on an opponent that probably won’t appreciate getting pantsed like that on live television.

This time, poor Jazz power forward Walker Kessler was on the receiving end of a thunderous Williamson slam dunk.

Even though he’s a whopping seven feet tall, Kessler was just helpless as Williamson threw down the dunk as if he ascended from the top of Mount Olympus.

Like, goodness gracious, Zion, you didn’t have to do him like that. Maybe he did, and this newfound disrespect is helping Williamson tap more into his potential.

If it is, let’s hope he doesn’t get too humble on us anytime soon. Williamson is helping transform New Orleans into a title contender, and is providing all NBA fans with some truly sick highlights.

El concurso de clavadas de la NBA siempre es algo se tiene que ver sin importar quien participe.

Hemos visto 50s perfectos en años recientes e incluso algo de controversia – ¿Se acuerdan de Dwayne Wade en aquel momento que involucró a Aaron Gordon en el 2020?

El año pasado, Anfermee Simons de los Portland Trail Blazers ganó, Derrick Jones Jr. – entonces del Miami Heat – fue el ganador del 2020, y Hamidou Diallo y Donovan Mitchell obtuvieron la victoria Enel 2019 y el 2018 respectivamente.

¿Quiénes participan este año? Buena pregunta, solo hay cuatro jugadores este año, pero algunos han demostrado ser muy buenos clavadistas, incluyendo uno que regresa después de un sólido desempeño en el concurso del año anterior:

WATCH: Texas F Dylan Disu posterizes two defenders

Dylan Disu with the SportsCenter Top-10!

While struggling to get any offense going early in Texas’ matchup against Alabama State, Texas forward Dylan Disu took it upon himself to get the Horns back into the game.

Disu took a Marcus Carr pass and charged in from beyond the arc to throw down a dunk over two Alabama State defenders, igniting the energy on Longhorns bench.

Disu is playing just his third game of the season after recovering from a knee injury he suffered at Vanderbilt a season ago. The forward averaged 15 points and 9.8 rebounds per game last year in the SEC.

Chris Beard believes Disu is a future NBA player who can help Texas break out of their offensive struggles.

Disu currently leads the Texas team with eight points as they try to erase an early deficit.

WATCH: Darius Miles ends Alabama MBB win over UGA with incredible dunk

Freshman forward Darius Miles has not seen a whole lot of minutes for the Crimson Tide, but today he made those minutes count.

The Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team is now 17-5 overall and 12-1 in SEC play after defeating the Georgia Bulldogs at home with an SEC record 115 points.

Nate Oats currently coaches the best defense in all of college basketball and the fastest-paced offense in the nation. The team is primed to be a highly ranked seed heading into not only the SEC tournament, but the NCAA men’s tournament, as well.

The win was secured with less than a minute to go, but freshman forward Darius Miles wanted to make it clear the Crimson Tide finished on top.

He had an incredible slam dunk over a Georgia defender that will leave many speechless. There’s no possible way to describe the intensity, so here is a video of it.

Since the game was coming to a close and Alabama was going to win, some may claim this was an unsportsmanlike act. However, Oats spoke with Georgia head coach Tom Crean about it after the game.

Alabama continues to roll through their schedule. Next up on their list is Texas A&M on the road on Feb. 17.

WATCH: Jericho Sims Throws Down Monster Slam Dunk

UT is in another tight game in the Big 12. Early in the game, Jericho Sims threw down a monster dunk, sparking momentum for the entire half.

Currently down at halftime by one point to Iowa State, the Longhorns are in another tight game in the Big 12. Early in the game, Jericho Sims threw down a monster dunk, sparking momentum for the entire first half.

Setting a screen for Matt Coleman, Sims trailed the play and was wide open in the middle of the lane. Starting his jump from the top of the restricted area, Sims extended his arms as far as he can to throw it down.
