You're the guy who guarded Zion?
Since a video of him guarding the high school version of Zion Williamson went viral in eighth grade, he has heard that a few times.
He looked down in amazement at Bishop, who was clapping it up as he guarded him.
The two got together again on Friday night in Alabama as they were both in town for a preseason game. The viral moment was recreated by Bishop in the hallway near the locker room.
Prior to Friday's game, Bishop presented Williamson with a No. 1 jersey from his team.
"I've been looking forward to this through the last week and we got here and it's really cool," Bishop said.

Bishop was a little nervous about Friday's meeting, but his demeanor immediately made him feel better.
It was cool that he picked up on the fact that we have known each other for a long time.
The two talked after Bishop briefly considered transferring to the school. They spoke for the first time on Friday.
Coming from the same hometown and knowing the same people bring you together, according to Bishop. He talks to people he knows and is down to earth. It just speaks to who he really is.
