High-flying forward Zion Williamson is currently overseas in China for Jordan Brand's 'China Family Tour.' Alongside several of the biggest names in basketball today, like Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic, and Paolo Banchero, Williamson is set to hit several areas around Shanghai and Beijing. The tour is the first of its kind, having started this week and running through Sep. 2.

At one of the tour's early stops, Zion Williamson can be seen spinning around on the ground while dribbling a ball, before then gathering for an effortless reverse jam. The display earned the Pelicans star a loud round of applause from fans, who were left stunned by the former No. 1 pick.

The stop appears to be the first of several on the inaugural Jordan brand tour, with footage emerging of Williamson, Tatum, Banchero, and Doncic all arriving in China on Wednesday.
