Warriors general manager Bob Myers joined Gary and Larry on Monday and admitted that JaVale McGee has exceeded the organization’s wildest expectations.
It’s up in the air whether or not McGee will stay with the Warriors after the 2017 postseason; it’s possible he might help the Dubs win another Championship and then opt for a better contract with a new team.
“My mother definitely was still hard working me, especially on the basketball,” said McGee. “I think it was sixth grade, and I had a bad game. She had me up at 6:00 a.m. running around, running around in the snow in boots, like working out.”
The most encouraging sign: This was not a game where either Steph Curry or Klay Thompson dominated and the victory still came in blowout fashion. This win was mostly organic with strong defense and slick transition offense
OAKLAND— JaVale McGee has had a complicated career in the NBA, bouncing around to multiple teams and being scrutinized harshly at times for his on-court mistakes. JaVale has had a resurgence this season with the Golden State Warriors, becoming a key piece off the bench for the ball club.
Basketball players can be categorized at times in two way: those who play below the rim and those who play above it. Damian Lillard is one of those special players who can do both. JaVale McGee makes his NBA money playing way, way above it.
As pointed out on Monday morning by the Bay Area News Group, however, based on the Wizards’ own definition, they have disrespected the game on multiple occasions this season.
Javale McGee and former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal have butted heads over the years, as McGee has made numerous appearances on Shaq’s infamous “Shaqtin’ A Fool” segment during NBA on TNT broadcasts. However, McGee appeared to be fed up last night and went at the 7-footer on Twitter over this video created for his “Shaqademy Awards”.
