Zion Williamson Gets Thanos-Inspired Birthday Bling

Zion Williamson celebrated his 20th birthday with some unique jewelry inspired by his favorite villain in the Marvel Universe.

Zion Williamson hasn’t quite taken over the world…yet.

The rookie sensation just turned 20-years-old and got birthday wishes from everyone from his teammates to Carole Baskin from the hit documentary Tiger King:

I don’t know why that video is so creepy but it is. Watch your back, Zion!

Zion Williamson gets Thanos-style gauntlet

In addition to getting stalker-ish videos from D-list celebrities, Zion Williamson also got a cool piece of jewelry from Houston jeweler ZoFrost, a Thanos-style gauntlet holding a basketball.

Zion is apparently a big fan of Marvel and named Thanos as his favorite character from the many movies.

Zion’s gauntlet features five “infinity” stones and if you turn it around you’d see it holding a basketball (rather than the fate of the world) in the palm of its hand.

Zion Williamson will be traveling with teammates to Orlando today to kick off the NBA re-start in Orlando, even as coronavirus cases surge in Florida.

Zion has drawn a lot of attention for his new, slimmer physique and hopes the weight he dropped will help ease pressure on his already injured knees.

Though he is still just 20-years-old, Zion is already being compared to NBA greats and has grabbed the imagination of the league and its fans in just 19 games.

He’ll be one of the focal points in Orlando, as the New Orleans Pelicans try to overtake Portland and catch the Memphis Grizzlies for the 8th seed in the Western Conference.

Zion admitted he was rooting for Thanos to win in Avengers: Endgame, and though Zion is not a super-villain, he hopes to channel some of that energy for the Endgame in Orlando and hopefully a first round playoff series with the Lakers.
