IF Javale McGee makes the national team, and IF they win the gold medal at the upcoming Fiba World Championships, then it would only be the third gold medal won by the McGee family in international competition. ESPN's Chris Sheridan has the story.

McGee's aunt, Paula -- the twin sister of Pam -- was cut from the '84 team, and McGee's younger sister, Imani Stafford, 16, won a gold medal earlier this summer for the United States at the under-17 girls World Championship in France.
