New Orleans Pelicans sharpshooter Ryan Anderson showed off some surprising athleticism on Saturday against the visiting Houston Rockets.

In the closing seconds of the first half of the Boxing Day contest, the 6-foot-10 big man used his 3-point shooting prowess to draw Clint Capela out to the arc. Then, in a rare display of quickness and mobility, Anderson blew past a pair of defenders en route to a sweet home-court hammer.
