Anthony Davis Rises Above Poor Tyler Zeller For Powerful Alley-Oop Jam

Boston Celtics big man Tyler Zeller was right where he wants to be – between the man he was guarding and the ball and the basket. One problem: Anthony Davis often renders what should be effective defensive positioning completely irrelevant.

Just what else was Zeller supposed to do here? Sometimes talent wins out in basketball, and this play is a perfect example. Davis is just too long and explosive for a player like Zeller to deal with alone.

The Brow has 16 points and seven rebounds at halftime, helping the New Orleans Pelicans to a 47-47 tie with the Celtics.
