LeBron James Points Out Major Thing He Loves About JaVale McGee

JaVale McGee has 10 years of professional experience in the NBA and five teams in his resume. If you ask most NBA experts, they will agree that McGee earned the starting role. They also agree that LeBron James turns his teammates into better players. McGee is a living proof of that.

The Lakers big mad was of great help for the team. He had a great campaign with the Los Angeles Lakers. He averages 13.4 points and 2.6 blocks in 17 games. These numbers are definitely career highs. McGee is the great player to play alongside King James. LeBron has words of praise for his big teammate, and he is definitely grateful for everything McGee has done so far.

“I played against him in the last two NBA Finals and I wanted him on this team because I know what he brings. It’s his energy, his energy level, his ability at the rim and his ability to protect the rim. If you don’t have that on your team, you’re not going to have much, man. You need to have people with a high IQ, which he’s got. That’s why I wanted JaVale to be part of this,” LeBron said. Let’s not forget that he actually lobbied the team to get the veteran.

McGee tried to stay active and athletic in the past few years, but his lowlights actually tainted his great value on the court. Everyone knows that McGee was forced out of Oakland.

The good news is that McGee found his perfect team. He plays well alongside LeBron, and the Lakers can sure give him everything he needs to release his talent. What did McGee do? He just sticks to the plan and does not go out of the line. That’s what makes him a great player, and the Lakers sure benefit from his game.
