Zion Williamson continues defy the laws of physics just about every time he steps onto a basketball court. His latest mind-bending play wasn't a rim-rattling dunk, but rather an impressive catch and finish from the Pelicans' forward. Williamson somehow corralled an errant pass that ended up behind the backboard. Jrue Holiday attempted to feed Zion an alley-oop, but he overthrew the pass. Despite that, Williamson made the miraculous adjustment and still managed to finish the layup.

Keep in mind folks, Zion did this all in one impressive leap. Williamson caught the ball behind the backboard before switching hands in mid-air and finishing at the rim.
