Let's be honest: exhibition games were made for JaVale McGee. Whereas Flip Saunders may cringe at McGee's occasional dribbling exhibitions and out-of-control drives to the basket, nobody ever stands in his way in exhibitions. So it should be little surprise that McGee dominated an exhibition game between NBA stars and Philippines all-stars earlier Saturday, even though his name was spelled "JeVele" on his jersey.
Highlights are here. Here's the description from PhilStar.com.
Javale McGee, who was tireless in executing jams, paced the NBA stars with 25 points with Kevin Durant, Derrick Williams, Tyreke Evans, James Harden, Bryant and Chris Paul adding double-digit numbers.
"Tireless in executing jams" is a perfect McGee description. Here's the description from Twitter.
I want this game to have a box score and advanced stats. JaVale McGee Turnover % - a billion. JaVale McGee hilarity % - 7 billion.
Seriously, find a league where there is no defense and McGee shines....10x All Star
I think JaVele has found his calling. He was made for the PBA.
JaVale McGee is taking his defense-to-offense transition here very, very seriously.
I never want to see a basketball game that doesn't involve JaVale McGee again.
"JaVale McGee with 25 points and 1000 slam dunks."
Oh, and JaVale also "planked" on the court. Most JaVale performance ever?
