Joe Pavelski: world-class athlete.

The San Jose Sharks captain put his athletic prowess on display Friday, showing off his skills with not only a club but a basketball as well at the American Century Championship, a celebrity golf tournament held in Nevada.

Pavelski is one of nearly 90 celebrities participating in the tournament, including fellow NHLers T.J. Oshie, Carey Price, and Pavelski's former Sharks teammate Jeremy Roenick.

Pavelski's talent is nothing new to Bay Area hockey fans, who've witnessed the Wisconsin native net no fewer than 68 points in each of the past four NHL seasons.

Drafted in 2003, Pavelski has spent his entire career in San Jose. His 631 career points trail only Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton in franchise scoring.
