This video features not just one but TWO jumpshots from JaVale McGee. Not only where they real-life honest-to-god jumpshots, but they were pretty much turnaround jumpshots. For a guy who has been considered nothing but a dunk factory for his entire time in the NBA, that’s not only a good omen for his development; that’s…

JaVale McGee All 72 Dunks Full Highlights (2017-18 Season Dunkilation)
“I’m bored,” JaVale McGee announced, throwing his controller on the ground. “No, you’re just butthurt because you suck at Fortnite,” Nick Young replied from his relaxed position in a recliner, a bag of Doritos resting in between his legs. “That’s not the same as boredom.” “I’m not even mad right now, for real” JaVale retorted,…

JaVale McGee set the tone for the Warriors tonight with his two dunks in the first minute of the game. He set the tone so hard that I think he deserves a shoutout in the upcoming Warriors championship DVD. I have vague recollections of a Bulls championship VHS (this was the mid 90’s when Chicago…

Is it a stretch to say that JaVale McGee won this game for the Warriors? It is, but it’s not the biggest stretch ever. He did a ton of damage in the first few minutes of the game, and the deleterious effects of such a marginal role-player playing that well on the Spurs’ players are…

So Stephen Curry sprained his ankle, which isn’t good news, but what IS good news is that the Draymond Green-JaVale McGee lob connection can replace most of the production that you lose when Curry is out. Steve Kerr just has to make a point of running those plays again and again until the other team…

“Elite coach” Steve Kerr has finally seen reason, even as it was staring him in the face this whole time: he has inserted JaVale McGee into the starting lineup, banishing Zaza Pachulia to the bench where he belongs, forever. I think everyone on earth agrees with me that McGee is simply the better option for…

Not shown: JaVale McGee airballing a three that he had no business taking. I thought about it, as a sort of “compare and contrast” between that and his previous 7-for-7 shooting including, in fairness, a sweet turnaround fading jumper over Gobert that he also had no business taking. But I don’t do lowlights. If you…

When I watched JaVale McGee score the first seven points for the Warriors in this game, I chuckled a little bit to myself. Then I thought, why should I be laughing at him? He’s a talented basketball player in his own right, not a sideshow freak to be mocked. Just because he was doing the…

The team plane was silent; it was two in the morning, and everybody was asleep. Everybody, that is, except one JaVale McGee, who couldn’t get to sleep no matter how much he tried. His mind was preoccupied with rumors that had been circulating the locker room for some time, rumors that Stephen had somehow acquired…

It was looking like the Blazers had a good chance to beat the Warriors when they led by thirteen at halftime, but it just wasn’t meant to be. That’s okay, because the Warriors were without Durant for the second straight game, so the win wouldn’t have counted anyway. Meanwhile, the Warriors’ win counts 100% because…
