Pete Davidson shows off his surprising basketball skills in new video from pick-up game in Las Vegas

PETE Davidson has shown off his surprising basketball skills in a new video from a Las Vegas pick-up game.

The Saturday Night Live alum previously teased his athletic abilities during the NFL Pro Bowl, when he tossed around a football before the game.

Backed by the hard-hitting beat of Meek Mills I'm A Boss, the highlight video showed Pete, 29, displaying an array of basketball skills while participating in a pick-up game at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Posted on the UNLV Basketball Instagram account and captioned: "F it Pete Davidson highlights," the hoop mixtape captured the comedian driving to the hole, knocking down a three, and tossing dimes across the gymnasium.

Pete showed off his handles as he dribbled down the court during a fastbreak as well as his ability to use the backboard as he finished at the rim with a graceful lay-up.

One slow-mo clip even captured the Bupkis star taking flight as he leaped in the air to throw down a one-handed slam.

The clip cut just before Pete jammed the dunk home, something that was pointed out by fans in the post's comment section.

One person commented: "I wanted to see the dunk."

Another jokingly responded: "The dunk was too powerful for our eyes so it was edited out."

Others were just shocked to see a basketball highlight video featuring the King of Staten Island star, as one fan commented: "Last thing I ever expected to see in this life was a Pete Davidson mixtape."

A second person wrote: "The hoop mixtape we didn’t know we needed, but lowkey stoked we got."

"Not what I expected to see on the timeline but also not mad about it," added a third.

While a fourth commenter called for an SNL alum matchup, writing: "Hear me out: a Pete Davidson vs @adamsandler 1v1 and the post-game interview is them roasting each other."

Throughout the comment section, fans were quick to compliment Pete's unexpected still with the basketball.

One wrote: "Dahm he can play!"

Another exclaimed: "Peter can BALL!?!"

A third person commented: "No way! Didn’t realize he could hoop," while a fourth simply stated, "Kanye sick asf rn."

'GET OUT OF HERE!'

As mentioned, Pete last showed off his athletic prowess during the NFL Pro Bowl, though the highlight of that appearance came when he crashed the broadcast with a crude sex joke.

The Bodies Bodies Bodies actor had been a guest judge for one of the skills competitions in Las Vegas.

Pete couldn't help but make a cheeky joke while smiling at the camera in a suggestive way.

He was tasked with awarding points out of 100 for the Best Catch competition.

The actor was one of three judges alongside Snoop Dogg and running back icon LaDananian Tomlinson.

The comedian watched an attempt from AFC finalist Stefon Diggs.

And scored Diggs' efforts, 69 out of 100.

Pete gave a cheeky look at ESPN cameras as he winked and held up his scorecard.

ESPN commentator Marcus Spears was heard saying: "Pete, get out of here, this is a family network."

Pete later celebrated a victory for the NFC in the Pro Bowl.

He was a special guest coach alongside Eli Manning for the NFC team as they ran out 35-33 winners at Allegiant Stadium in a new-look event.

PETE VERSUS PETA

Recently, Pete showed off his skill of the clap back, when he blasted PETA in a furious voicemail after the organization slammed him for buying a dog in a pet shop.

The Saturday Night Live alum was recently spotted at Citipups in New York City to pick up the canine.

However, PETA wasn't pleased with Pete's choice to purchase the pup instead of adopting one at a dog rescue.

They issued a statement to TMZ on Monday, expressing their disappointment in the Suicide Squad actor.

It read: "It's tragic that Pete didn’t seek out a borough-born mutt from a city animal shelter, because a scrappy New Yorker with charm, personality, and unconventional handsomeness could have been his perfect match."

But Pete quickly fired back with an angry voice message to the organization's senior vice president of cruelty investigations, Daphna Nachminovitch, to defend his decision.

In the voicemail, the comic claimed that he's allergic to dogs, which is why he purchased a cavapoo - known for being a hypoallergenic breed that doesn't shed.

He also noted that the pet was for his mother, who recently lost her puppy companion.

The call didn't end there, as Pete proceeded to slam Daphne for not doing her research before talking to the media, cursed at her, and made a comment about his penis.
