VIDEO: Anthony Davis hits buzzer-beating 30-foot game-winner
New Orleans Pelicans power forward Anthony Davis is not just a rare breed. He's one of a kind.
That's because Davis is capable of just about anything on the basketball court. With his rare mix of athleticism, size and skill, Davis is nothing short of a basketball marvel.
Take his performance on Friday. Davis scored 41 points, including a buzzer-beating 30-foot 3-pointer to sink the Oklahoma City Thunder by a score of 116-113.
Anthony Davis on his game-winner: "I’ll probably watch it all night tonight, I’m not going to lie."

For most of the game, Davis used his hops and height to soar over the Thunder's defense. This inhuman alley-oop exemplifies the impossibility of his existence.
But Davis, who played as a guard before hitting a growth spurt in high school, also possesses skills befitting a guard.
He routinely cans jump shots off the dribble and on catch-and-shoots. He can pass. He can use his dribble to drive. He leads the league in blocks.
He can do it all. For that, Davis isn't just rare - he's in a class all by himself.
