Zion is taking up golf. I was initially worried about the golf ball. I should have worried about the clubs!
We dropped my son off at Tulane last week.
While in town we saw people at two different restaurants wearing Zion Pelicans t-shirts.
Then last night at the Tulane home football game Zion was on the sidelines, tossing things to the fans and taking selfies with the student section. It seemed like he was there at least for the entire first half.

Nike clubs.
I was alluding to his shoe problems... Next time I'll have to spell it out.
He was also on the MNF sidelines this week, which is cool but not really as noteworthy as him being at Yulman for Tulane--because the latter is solely about visibility in New Orleans, not nationally (and not for a team that shares ownership with the Pelicans).

BTW, what are the odds this video was contrived by the Pelicans?

Saw this photo posted from the Pelicans’ visit to the Saints facility. Nickeil Alexander-Walker (on Zion’s left) is listed at 6’5. Lonzo Ball is 6’6. Zion appears to be about the same height as Ball, and significantly shorter than Jackson Hayes (6’11). Even now, does anybody know how tall Zion actually is? I thought I saw an article around the time of the draft that suggested he had grown an inch since the start of last season, but 6’6 looks accurate at least based on this highly inaccurate picture.

That is really wild. You get your gear on the second greatest player in history, during his peak years from 1999 to 2006, arguably a plateau even higher than Jack. In 2005, on the iconic hesitating golf ball at the lip of the cup on Augusta 16, your swoosh smiles at the world. Scarcely a decade after, you're done with golf equipment.

Yes it's a puzzle. One explanation I read somewhere is that Nike didn't have a profitable base within golf. Titleist has golf balls; TaylorMade has drivers and woods; Callaway has irons; Cleveland has wedges and Ping has putters plus other stuff. Footjoy has shoes. Nike mostly had red shirts -- then only on Sunday.
