The March Madness debut of Zion Williamson and R.J. Barrett lived up to the hype. Although Duke got off to a bit of a slow start against No. 16 NDSU, they were in control by the final buzzer thanks to a combined 51 points from their dynamic duo.
While there was no shortage of highlights from either player, the play of the game probably goes to Barrett for this reverse dunk to punctuate Duke’s dominant second half.
A photo by Getty Images photographer Kevin C. Cox captures Barrett’s incredible dunk along with Zion’s celebration, and people were quick to notice that even when he’s cheering his teammate’s accomplishments, Zion gets major air.
The Zion Williamson show: Tune in for the dunk, stay for the celly. No doubt, viewers will be tuning in for the rest of Duke’s tournament run, and if their best players can keep playing this, they may just be looking at a national championship yet.
