Let’s hope Zion Williamson doesn’t hold grudges. Soon to be #1 Pick Zion Williamson is going to try to sign every autograph he can as an NBA superstar, because he still remembers how hurt he was when Anthony Davis and John Wall turned him down as a kid.
Via an old episode of Home Team Hoops:
“When I was little, I looked up to high school players and wanted their autographs and sometimes I couldn’t get it, I’d be hurt,” Williamson says on camera. “I said when I grew up, I don’t want to be like that. I want to sign every kid’s autograph. No matter how long it takes me.”
“I try to sign every kid’s autograph. I don’t want to turn a little kid down because I know it will hurt them because it hurt me. Anthony Davis, John Wall turned me down. So I try to sign everybody’s.”

Anthony Davis could be among the biggest names in the NBA on the move this offseason.
Could he end up staying in New Orleans?
If so, he has some explaining to do.
This is why you never turn down an autograph request.
