JaVale McGee

Of all the non-basketball things one could see JaVale McGee doing, mentoring young NBA talents is not among them. Professional volleyball-spiker? Uh-huh. Gumby imitator? For sure. Gangly hug-giver. You bet. Mentor? Not so much. Alas, McGee himself feels differently. Per the Philadelphia Inquirer‘s Keith Pompey: “I don’t want to get bought out,” said McGee, a [...]
