Pete Davidson: who knew? Actor & comedian's incredible basketball skills

Posted by Patria Henriques on Tuesday, May 7, 2024

Everyone knows Pete Davidson as a talented comedian, former SNL cast member and actor. What few people know about is the Long Island native's impressive basketballs skills. Now, thanks to the University of Las Vegas, we have that insight into the reserved comedian.

Davidson, who has no social media accounts, did it all in the college's exhibition game: cross-court assists, long-distance jumper and layups. The Bupkis actor's IMDB page lists his height at 6-foot-3, making him one of the tallest stand-up comedians in the world.

The official UNLV Men's Basketball account shared the mixtape of Davidson hooping with the following caption: "Introducing our newest walk-on... Pistol Pete Davidson". They also thanked him for stopping by the university's gym: "Shouts to Pete Davidson for stopping by Mendenhall last week".

It's unclear what prompted Pete Davidson to stop by. The comedian attended Brooklyn's St. Francis College briefly before ultimately dropping out in 2011.
