Zion Williamson’s college playing days are probably over, but he’s not done balling out on Duke’s campus.

The freshman freak of nature is likely headed to the NBA after losing to Michigan State in the Elite 8. There’s a lot of money on the table, and he’d be foolish to pass it up. (RELATED: Duke Loses To Michigan State In The Elite 8)

Yet, a video of him in the Duke rec center went viral after he threw down a monster slam off the backboard. Yes, against average people, the Blue Devils star put on a show.

Watch the video below.

First off, that was an awesome dunk. Just another example of how insanely talented Williamson is on a basketball court. There’s no doubt about it at all.

Secondly, Zion probably shouldn’t be playing against random dudes in a rec center. Those kids are probably trying to go so hard, and Zion is just out there trying to blow off some steam.

If I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t even consider it. I wouldn’t be anywhere near a court full of guys trying to play the game of their lives.

It’s a recipe for disaster.

If I was in Zion’s crew, I’d have a Secret Service detail around him at all times to protect him. We’d be taking absolutely no risks.

Stay out of public gyms! It’s just not worth it.
