Williamson showed off his bulging biceps at media day with the Pelicans this week.
He appeared more muscular and toned as he looks to make his return from injury later this month.
The 24-year-old has been out since suffering a leg injury in April, but fans are impressed with his new look.
Reacting to the transformation, one fan commented: “Bro done turned into the Hulk, the league is in trouble.”
Another added: “Bro built like two Shaquille O’Neals.”
A third fan also wrote: “Zion looking much healthier.”
Meanwhile, the Shaquille O’Neal comparisons continued, with another dubbing him: “The new Shaq.”
The two-time NBA All-Star has achieved his stunning transformation with a brutal diet and workout regime during the off-season.

According to The Athletic, his new diet features scrambled eggs, salmon fried in avocado oil and fruit smoothies.
Williamson has also been working out in the gym from 6am every morning in a bid to get in shape.
He has previously struggled with his diet and faced criticism from the likes of Stephen A. Smith.
Speaking on his YouTube channel in August, Smith explained: “His problem was food. I’m not exaggerating when I tell y’all you got people in the NBA that say he was hiding food under his bed.
“Because the Pelicans checked up on him to make sure he tried to engage in some level of containment when it came to his diet, and that brother wasn’t trying to hear it.”
However, the six-foot-six power forward is now aiming to weigh 272lbs by the time the season starts, his step-father revealed earlier in the off-season.
Williamson weighed 13lbs more at 285lbs during his time playing college basketball at Duke.
The Pelicans begin their pre-season schedule on Monday against the Orlando Magic before their opening NBA game against the Chicago Bulls on October 24.
