The New Orleans Pelicans’ rookie forward showed off his otherworldly strength and athleticism in the NBA Rising Stars Game on Friday night in Chicago. Zion threw down a dunk so powerful, that it resulted in a bent backboard at the United Center.

Q: Did Zion Williamson dunk so hard he tilted the rim/backboard?
