For JaVale McGee, joining the Los Angeles Lakers has almost indisputably been one of the best professional decisions he’s ever made. The chance to team with LeBron James on one of the highest-profile teams in the league has shown the world how valuable McGee can be on the court, and how much fun he can be off of it.
McGee is also whip-smart, far from the character that things like “Shaqtin a Fool” have portrayed him as, so it should come as no surprise that he saw this type of year coming.
