Zion Williamson Rumors

Morant might have benefited from more attention and a bigger-profile program had Williamson stayed or Morant left for a team with the backing of a prominent shoe company. But the path he chose, staying with the Hornets, going to Murray State and sticking with that decision even when bigger schools came calling after the fact, still yielded the same outcome. “I don’t do all that switching to team up with other people or get paid to go to other whatever, whatever people are getting in trouble for. I didn’t do none of that. I was just loyal to my team,” Ja Morant said. “Ricky was a good guy, a good coach, good dude to me and my fam and he gave me the opportunity to play for his AAU team and I just kept it and continued to play. That’s what made us better. The chip on our shoulder. We used to play all the Nike, Adidas and Under Armour teams and we use to kill them, so that’s on them.”
