Zion Williamson calls NBA reporter ‘liar’ over officiating question
After the Pelicans failed to secure a win against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Zion Williamson’s statements in the post-game conference have earned him many headlines. A reporter in the post-game conference had asked Zion about his opinions on the amount of fouls being called in Pelicans games. He asked, “I am not trying to get you in trouble… Have you noticed a difference in officiating?” Zion chucked on hearing the question and had a hilarious response for the reporter.
“Wow. You are a liar. You are trying to get me into trouble. Nah, man, I am just messing. If I had to take a guess, they are getting ready for playoffs,” said the Pelicans star humorously. The question was asked by the reporter because of the 31 fouls called out in the Cavs vs Pelicans match. 18 out of those 31 fouls were called against the visiting team and Zion was presented with 9 free throws. However, he was able to net only seven of them.
