JaVale McGee: 3-Time Champ and Full-Time Dad

Whistle, a sports and entertainment media company, has a new series “Double Duty” on their YouTube page. The show is all about the balance of athletics and parenting.

One episode features “Three-Time” aka current Phoenix Suns center JaVale McGee.

He broke down his childhood and how he learned the ropes from his mom, Pamela McGee, a pioneer for women’s hoops.

Pamela played most of her career overseas, took a break when she was pregnant with JaVale before returning with him in a stroller at the end of the bench for her games. I really enjoy that image, which shines light on how parents will do anything for their children.
