Anthony Davis embracing role as face of NBA All-Star in New Orleans

As visitors to downtown New Orleans approach the Central Business District this weekend, one of the first aspects of the skyline they’ll likely notice is the iconic Mercedes-Benz Superdome. But there’s also a good chance they spot a 400-foot high Nike advertisement nearby, which features Pelicans four-time All-Star Anthony Davis – the face of the NBA’s midseason showcase event in more ways than one.

As part of its presence at NBA All-Star 2017, Nike created the Davis ad to be displayed on a side of Benson Tower that is visible to traffic entering the Crescent City from the west.
