Anthony Davis better watch out at the first New Orleans Pelicans practice of 2015-16, lest he find himself on the receiving end of a poster from his new head coach.

Alvin Gentry, still an assistant with the Golden State Warriors until the NBA Finals conclude, was showing off his athleticism at age 60 at practice on Monday. Fellow assistant Jarron Collins captured Gentry's attempts, which didn't start out too well. Gentry, a point guard in his college playing days, soon found a creative way to throw down without the use of youth.

CAPTION: Age ain't nothing but a number. Alvin "skywalker" Gentry still getting up to throw down. @warriors #DubNation

The Warriors staff continues to have a blast, and Pelicans players are surely hoping this type of atmosphere carries over when Gentry changes jobs. Just stay out of the lane, fellas.
