Zion Williamson wins AP Player of the Year

Couldn't ask for a better kid on and off the court to represent the program. Well deserved honor for the most talented college player I've ever seen.
no you didn'tWait... I
Just realized the OP said Zion Williams... so our guy didn’t win
I wish we didn’t have to use our imagination and he returned, shocking the world.
Man... No disrespect to RJ, but unless you substantially weight in health I have no idea how you can choose him over Zion. He was fantastic but just not on the same level.
Just seems unfair this young man with his talent, his love of the game, teammates, and Duke, is not playing this weekend. I don't think I ever saw a guy so talented, yet so humble that he would stop what he is doing to take time out for fans with a huge smile on his face. Most kids that age, with all the hype he's had since his Junior year of high school, very easily could have been stuck on himself. He was just so special and we all are lucky to have had him with Duke across his chest.
When you learn to stop being selfish and raise your arms higher on attempted high fives, then and maybe then, your feelings might be considered Mister!!!
Love the way this kid has handled himself OFF the court. He’s so mature. He’s humble. Positive attitude. Down to earth. Seemingly compassionate. Thoughtful. Always carries himself with a smile or laughing. Just a tremendous tremendous young man. And that’s not mentioning any of his superb on the court skills. Hope he kills it in the NBA.
Man we should be playing this weekend. Can't believe we are done seeing him in a Duke uniform. I felt like it was just yesterday that he announced. My dad called me and needless to say WE WERE PUMPED. Congrats on an amazing year, from an amazing player,
Word is he is in Minneapolis. If he is and I see him I’ll be the guy immortalized in a meme of a 35 YO man jumping up and down, crying and screaming like a teenage girl in the 60s that just saw The Beatles.
Yes, I saw it. It's an article about Zion making this 16 yr old kids day by visiting him.

Just won Naismith Player of the Year! 3rd freshman ever to win it, first for Duke since Reddick in 06.
So does Zion get his jersey retired? I know he didn’t graduate but why not? He deserves it
Kind of hard to argue he should not. It does open the door up for Elton though who should have his retired as well.
