Here's the video.


You can see (a) Zion is facing the basket, is fully aware that Hill is on his periphery, (b) he raises his elbow and hits Hill in the face with it, (c) Med's head visibly snaps back.

I have seen so many calls this year for flagrants when a guy had his back to an opposing player, had no idea someone was immediately behind him, and got the call simply because he raised his elbow and truly did make inadvertent contact. There is absolutely no way a play like this would not be called for a blow to the head if the player in question was not Zion, or not wearing a Duke jersey.

It will be interesting to see whether Zion gets the Zion Rules as a rookie in the NBA.
