WATCH: Zion Williamson nearly takes down the hoop at a Duke rec center

UCF v Duke

COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA - MARCH 24: Zion Williamson #1 of the Duke Blue Devils celebrates after defeating the UCF Knights in the second round game of the 2019 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament at Colonial Life Arena on March 24, 2019 in Columbia, South Carolina.

Duke’s season technically ended with a Sunday loss to Michigan State in the Elite Eight.

But freshman superstar Zion Williamson is still hooping on Duke’s campus for a little while longer -- at least until he likely leaves to turn pro.

Video released on Tuesday night on social media shows Williamson dunking with authority at a campus rec center in a pickup game with what appears to be normal Duke students.

Imagine trying to get a run in with the normal student population and one of college basketball’s best talents in a generation comes in and nearly destroys the basket you’re playing on... This situation is partly what makes college sports so unique.

It’ll be fascinating to see if Williamson continues to show up in games like this -- particularly as his potential endorsements and shoe-company future comes into the national spotlight.
