In recent times, Anthony Davis has shown an entirely different character through his active participation in pranks and jokes to his fans. AD presented his studio audience and TV viewers with the extent of his prank limits through Foul Play’s pilot episode. And who better to prank than his former Lakers teammate Jarred Vanderbilt?

Vando became the unsuspecting target for the prank as Davis and Russell initiated the plan by starting their conversation by seeking his opinion about LeBron James being the greatest of all time. Seemed innocent enough, right? When the second question from Vando came out, the goats immediately surrounded him.

And here’s the kicker—Vando’s vegan.

So, you can imagine the look on his face when he was suddenly face-to-face with a bunch of real-life goats, while AD and D’Lo were straight-up crying from laughter in the background. Knowing how serious Vanderbilt is about his plant-based lifestyle, this was next-level trolling. Nothing harmful, just pure, hilarious chaos. It was the perfect way to show just how well Davis knows his teammates, and fans couldn’t get enough of it.

His reaction made this all the more humorous. Vando is, for the most part, recognized as one of the strongest basketball players, but here he takes an entirely different route. Dude got totally flustered. Could not believe it at first, then accepted it and then had a laugh. Even though AD was relishing this moment of comic supremacy, Vando found it hilarious. Frankly, audiences should score this as a must-see in Foul Play Season 1.

Anthony Davis expands beyond the court: A new role with CeraVe

Davis engages in practical jokes but simultaneously creates major business ventures. Davis unexpectedly joined forces with CeraVe which launched him into the skincare market nobody anticipated.

His new title? “Head of CeraVe.”

Yep, AD isn’t just dunking on people—he’s out here tackling dandruff too. The move is part of CeraVe’s huge push to normalize scalp health, and Davis is leading the charge. But this isn’t just some random brand deal—he’s actually in on the whole campaign, bringing his humor and personality to the mix.

Davis has signed up for the “Head of CeraVe Hair” campaign alongside Charli D’Amelio and Paige Bueckers in what is absolutely an inspired move. It’s genius. The purpose of this initiative is to normalize discussions about scalp and hair wellness through an enjoyable and friendly approach. AD possesses the ability to connect with people through laughter, and that skill makes him especially effective.

And let’s be real—the timing is perfect. The global skincare market is worth $103.8 billion, and CeraVe is absolutely booming. So, bringing in an NBA superstar like Davis? Smart move. The campaign taps into his huge fan base, and at the same time, it’s helping break down the stigma around hair care. Win-win.

AD is proving he’s not just a basketball star—he’s building a whole brand.

From pranking teammates to stepping into the business world, Davis is showing that his impact goes way beyond the court. He’s already one of the most dominant players in the league, but now we’re seeing just how versatile he really is. Whether he’s leading his team, making fans laugh, or helping people take care of their hair, one thing’s for sure—Anthony Davis is on a whole different level.
