New Orleans Pelicans<\/a> forward Zion Williamson<\/a> revealed that there is one popular narrative about him that bothers him more than the others. <\/p>\n Williamson appeared on ESPN\u2019s \u201cNBA Today\u201d on Monday and discussed some of the criticism he has received throughout his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n He said the criticism that bothered him the most, however, was the assertion that he did not care about having a successful career.<\/p>\n \u201cThe part that would get at me the most is the people saying that I didn\u2019t care,\u201d Williamson said. \u201cI care a lot. I\u2019ve really cared. When you\u2019re not on the court and you have to just sit on the sideline, (however) much my critics hate it, I hate it more than them. I don\u2019t want to be on the sideline. I want to be out there on the court. That was part of the process of looking in the mirror. Am I doing enough? Am I really doing what I need to do?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n\n
