There have been whispers down in the Mississippi River delta that the man they call "The Brow" would one day add a 3-pointer to his repertoire -- and on that day, he would be crowned champion of the universe. But if New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis is going to start making 3-pointers of the one-handed, no-look, back-to-the-basket, over-the-shoulder variety, we might as well just give him the deed to all of existence right now:

We'll never know how many takes it took for Davis to make that shot. But because it's fun to dream, let's all just believe that he did this on the first try. Nobody can prove otherwise, right?

Right. And you can quibble with the description of the shot as "no-look" if you want -- Davis did bend backwards to glance at something. But he's clearly not looking at the basket; at best, he picked a mark in the ceiling to use to make sure he was on target.

Easy buckets, indeed.
