Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis pulled a playful prank on TODAY host Craig Melvin during a recording of Melvin's "Glass Half Full" podcast, presenting him with a decoy bottle of bourbon before revealing the joke.
Davis, known for his competitive edge on the court, showed his lighter side by setting up the prank during what was expected to be a standard interview segment. The moment captured on video shows Melvin's surprised reaction as he discovers the bourbon is not what it seems.
"He got me good," Melvin said, laughing off the trick. The exchange highlighted Davis's personality away from basketball, as the two discussed more serious topics before the prank unfolded.
The video, posted to YouTube on April 28, 2026, has already garnered hundreds of views. Fans have praised the lighthearted interaction, with many noting how it humanizes the NBA superstar.
