Zion Williamson on what fuels his grind

Posted Sep 13, 2016
Zion Williamson: The greatest motivating factor that’s gotten me to where I am today is… “Getting my mom off of her job. I don’t want her to have to stress about working; I want her to be able to choose whether she wants to work or not. She does a lot for me and I think that would be the perfect way to pay her back, but even that wouldn’t be enough. That’s why I work as hard as I do.” (USA Today)
