VIDEO: Anthony Davis 'dunks the sun'

Anthony Davis is set to take over the NBA universe in his fourth season. A photo shoot for Red Bull has him playing tricks on the actual universe, too.
In what has to have been one of the most exhausting shoots an athlete's ever done, Davis spent a day being photographed dunking, shooting, and blocking the sun on an outdoor court.
"I never heard of anyone thinking about dunking the sun," Davis said, before appearing to do just that.
The final image is remarkable:
Playing on the idea that the New Orleans Pelicans superstar has "got the world in the palm of his hands," Red Bull made several of the photos public.
This was a really cool idea, and it turned out really well. It may now be our second-favorite photo of an outdoor dunk.
