The most athletic big man in the game, New Orleans Pelicans superstar Anthony Davis, is up to his old tricks again.
The Pelicans hosted the Sacramento Kings Friday night, and Davis caught and finished an absurd one-handed alley-oop in traffic off of a beautiful pass from point guard Jrue Holiday.
ONE HAND SLAM! 🔥🔥

Anthony Davis recently said he thinks he's the best player in the NBA, and when he makes plays like that, it's hard to argue the Chicago native's claim.
Davis averaged 28.1 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game during the 2017-18 regular season while shooting an efficient 53.4 percent from the floor and 34.0 percent from beyond the arc. The superstar power forward also led the league in total blocks (193) and blocks per game (2.6).
At 6-foot-10, Anthony Davis can score from the perimeter and post, is a nightmare on the fast break, and has guard-like skills which allow him to create his own shot off the dribble from anywhere on the court. There really isn't another guy at his size in the NBA who can make that alley-oop play which Davis did.
Davis has career averages of 23.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 2.4 blocks in 410 games, and is always going to be in the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year award conversation.
