From a User object, use the attribute User.mention to get a string that represents a mention for the user. To get a user object from their ID, you need Client.get_user_info(id). To get the a user from a username ('ZERO') and discriminator ('#6885') use the utility function discord.utils.get(iterable, **attrs). In context:

if message.content.startswith('!best'):
    user = discord.utils.get(message.server.members, name = 'ZERO', discriminator = 6885)
    # user = client.get_user_info(id) is used to get User from ID, but OP doesn't need that
    await client.send_message(message.channel, user.mention + ' mentioned')
