One of those people seems to be comedian Andrew Schulz. In a recent episode of his podcast, Schulz had now-former UFC middleweight champ Israel Adesanya as his guest. Obviously, the topic of conversation centered around fighting, so at one point, the host decided to throw some massive shade on Kyrie: “Oh, I would beat the s**t out of Kyrie,” said Schulz. “Easy. That’s easy. That’s easy. No, that’s easy. That’s easy. KD that’d be more difficult obviously because he’s 7-feet tall.”

Williamson talks about Naruto with the same reverence with which other NBA players talk about the Bible—it brings comfort and clarity in equal parts. Over the course of this past year—an unusually tumultuous one in his otherwise starry career—Naruto was his north star. Naruto launched in Japan in 1999, the year before Zion was born, and quickly became a phenomenon: these days there are some 250 million copies in circulation. The animated adaptation launched in 2005, and has remained similarly popular even since. Naruto inspires the sort of fandom that leads people to don elaborate cosplays, and to tattoo themselves with its iconography. Williamson is not the only athlete who’s a fan (UFC champ Israel Adesanya is another notable), but he is, so far, the only NBA player to build an entire sneaker collection around his love for the franchise.
