Carmelo Anthony believes Zion Williamson has been too coddled by Pelicans: This is the dark side of player empowerment

Carmelo Anthony believes Zion Williamson has been overly pampered throughout his career, leaving a negative impression on him. This coddling has contributed to a lack of professionalism in Williamson’s approach to the game. It has hindered the advancements that other players have achieved in the realm of player empowerment. “This is like the dark side to player empowerment,” Anthony said. “We fought for player empowerment, taking a stand, sitting in lockouts, and sitting across these owners, and really figuring out the business of this game.”
