What was lacking in the story surrounding Zion signing his new contract was the place he chose. Williamson made his choice at either the Pelicans Headquarters, Smoothie King, Caesars Superdome, a fashionable hotel, or his home, but nothing was more suitable for him than the Dry Ace YMCA.
“‘Y‘Is a really big part of my journey as a human being, and frankly, as a human being. So I’m really grateful that Zion invited us to join us and share that moment here. ”
The young people in Zion’s summer camp enjoyed not only his birthday celebrations, but also history. There were no pelican executives at the table Zion signed. His mother and stepfather were on the left and right in the forward, and the children of Dryades YMCA were looking down at their shoulders behind.
It was one of those moments of life that kids will never forget. Take a look at the pictures and notice how enthusiastic the kids are in signing.

Superstar NBA players wanted them to attend the signing of his huge contract extension. His contract could help provide more enjoyable time and resources for children to families in the Dryades YMCA community.
“But as you can see at YMCA, he and his family started here. They started here. They will continue this in the city, to the youth of the city. I know that influencing life that affects them is very important to them, but it is also very important to us as an organization, “shared GM Trajan Langdon.
Personally, I was also a magnificent gesture that connected with Zion. Over 40 years ago, I spent several summers at the same Dry Ace YMCA. Those camps were great and built my personality and left me great memories of playing basketball, swimming, tracks and even chess and other sports. Recently, Zion spent a day in the movies with the kids of Dry Ace YMCA. We also watched the movie. One in particular was former NBA champion Jamaal Wilkes, starring Pan de elote, Earl, and Me.
Zion shared his view of the moment. “That means more than I can see and explain here. I came to the camp like this. During many summers. So I fell in love with a basketball game. So I fell in love. I would like to thank the YMCA for allowing me to share this moment with them. I will be able to sit here and use more space than I can really explain the YMCA. The summer camp helped shape me into today’s human beings. Thanks to the YMCA. “
Praise Zion! YMCA, who decided to join Dry Ades, talked a lot about Zion, his personality, and how he evolved into a member of the New Orleans community.
Speaking of NOLA children, stay connected. You will never know the true impact of the impression you are making on each of them. Time is momentary, but memories last forever.
