July 20 (UPI) -- New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis recently showed off his quick dribbling skills in an offseason training video.

The five-time All-Star was working with the HandleLife's Johnny Stephene during the session. He sported a sleeveless Pelicans hoodie and red shorts, with Burberry sunglasses.

Davis began the dribbling drills by bouncing a ball in each hand. He then moved to an alternating crossover with each ball, before doing an inverted juggling dribble. Davis then showed off his between-the-legs moves by alternating the balls in that dribble style. He later switched to just one ball to do some behind-the-back and between-the-legs dribbles.

Davis, 25, is entering his seventh NBA season. The three-time All-NBA selection, three-time blocking champion and three-time All-Defensive team selection averaged a career-best 28.1 points per game in 75 starts last season for New Orleans. He also pulled down 11. rebounds per game, while dishing out 2.3 helpers per bout and blocking a league-best 2.6 shots per contest.
