Williamson, who is set to enter his seventh year in the league this year, appeared during the Pelicans&rsquo; Media Day with a leaner and healthier physique. The 25-year-old forward was subjected to repeated criticism over his weight and durability. However, he has decided to shut all the critics with his revamped physique and renewed energy, signaling a return to his All-Star dominance.&nbsp;<\/p><p>As he appeared in front of the media, the two-time NBA All-Star declared that he&rsquo;s feeling &lsquo;really good.&rsquo; <em>&ldquo;We came up with a plan from boxing to working out on the football field a lot to just different random workouts,&rdquo;<\/em> Williamson said. <em>&ldquo;And during that timeframe last year, I really felt a shift in my body to where I would look at him and go, &lsquo;Dude, it feels good to feel good.&rsquo; He added, &ldquo;I haven&rsquo;t felt like this since college, high school, just where I can walk into a gym and I feel good.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Year 6 loading for Zion Williamson &#128170; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GbcShj3Sjl\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>https:\/\/t.co\/GbcShj3Sjl<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NBA (@NBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA\/status\/1970589005281665053?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>September 23, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Notably, the 2019 NBA Draft first overall pick, Williamson, hasn&rsquo;t been able to live up to everyone&rsquo;s expectations. While he has displayed talent and potential, the Duke alum has had consistent battles with untimely injuries. He maintains a career average of 24.7 points per game, but a series of injuries marred his his on-court explosiveness. Overall, he has missed more than 268 games, which is way more than the 214 games he played since turning pro.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Williamson has already proven that he is one of the most dominating forces when healthy. His best season came in 2020-21 when he dropped an average of 27.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game across 61 appearances. He is yet to play a postseason game though. After acquiring Williamson, the Pelicans advanced to the playoffs twice but both times during his injury. During both the appearances, the Pelicans suffered first-round losses.<\/p><p>Williamson hasn&rsquo;t been very available during his career. However, after undergoing an intense offseason training, it seems that the star forward is determined to lead the side to a better finish this season.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zion Williamson Shares his Learnings on Greatness, Reveals he is Ready to do Everything for his Team<\/h2><p>The 2020 NBA All-Rookie First Team member <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Gwu0G7duEaE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>shared his learning on greatness.<\/a> He also said that he is ready to do everything he can for his team. Williamson revealed having a conversation with Pelicans GM Joe Dumars, where the former discussed the difference between talent and greatness. The 6&rsquo;6&rdquo; player said that the difference is that while talent is natural, greatness is choosing to be better everyday.&nbsp;<\/p><p><em>&ldquo;Talent is more of a natural thing like you can look at somebody and go, &lsquo;Okay, they&rsquo;re really talented&rsquo;, Williamson said.&rdquo; &ldquo;Greatness is every day. Greatness is when you don&rsquo;t want to do it, when you want to do it. If you&rsquo;re facing crazy adversity, good, bad, no matter what&rsquo;s going on, greatness, you do it every day. You show up every day and you make it happen every day.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p><p>The North Carolina-born revealed that he is ready to do whatever his team needs from him.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The shift in Williamson&rsquo;s attitude leaves fans hopeful of a better season.
