McCollum. Zion Williamson was one of the subjects McCollum and the presenter in question addressed. Williamson&#8217;s career is now in his hands, according to McCollum and other players who have told him as much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had serious conversations with him on multiple occasions,\u201d McCollum said. \u201cNot just me, Larry (Nance Jr.). I\u2019ve told him, \u2018You can be as good as you wanna be, and that\u2019s not for everybody&#8217;. The level of the best version of him is a level that everybody can\u2019t get to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only Williamson, according to McCollum, can aspire to be the dominant force he has occasionally been throughout his career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour ceiling is unlike anything the NBA has ever seen,\u201d McCollum said he&#8217;s told Williamson. \u201cBut it\u2019s up to you to take full advantage of whatever that is. I can\u2019t want it for you. Mom can\u2019t want it for you. Dad can\u2019t want it for you. Staff can\u2019t want it for you. So, it\u2019s up to you to decide what that looks like.
