Video: Javale McGee Gets Confused

Wrong way, Javale…

This is why Javale McGee is who he is. After missing a short runner, McGee hustles back on defense, lowering his head in frustration. Only one problem—the Wizards got the offensive rebound and were ready to re-start the offense. Too bad McGee had already run out of the picture. John Wall’s reaction is utterly priceless. Ahh, the Wizards!

    “He said Jane Goodall has been studying the Wizards closely this season.” He said nothing that had anything to do with basketball at all. After his comment about Asians last week, that was clearly racist.

    Javale McGee’s sky hook and “beard” need to go, and on that same token the raptors need to hire a team barber if they ever wana make the playoffs, I saw this game and dem dudes shape ups, sideburns, fades, tapers and hairlines were completely out of control. Derozen, bayless, the johnsons, calderon, barbosa lol y’all trippin out there, that’s not cool bro.

    I really like Javale, he’s a bit of a knucklehead sure, but at least from what I’ve seen is he works hard and is looking to improve. This incident, along with the NBA’s least impressive triple double, the alley-oop to himself during a blowout, I think these are just manifestations of a young impressionable kid who’s surrounded by the wrong kind of influence. I think he’s a veteran team mate away from getting his act together. Can you imagine him playing with someone like Kurt Thomas or Marcus Camby? I’d bet he instantly cleans up if that happens.

    what he did really isn’t all that weird. also the pass from wall was terrible, shouldve been an easy two points

  • shutup

    smh nbk I dont think your in a position to call anyone racist, your hypocrisy on the subject amazes me, not two months ago you were defending someone tooth and nail who made a similar racist and derogatory comment, but I guess its fashionable now to call out racism for what it is

    Almost as funny as Julian Wright when he “air-balled” that dunk lmao

    Cosigs Lakeshow pre race post. Dwight wasnt great from the start , he took a riding from Kobe to get going in his carrer so maybe L.A. needs to come to town.

    Who da f@ck is Jane Goodall?If from what i sense is a monkey researcher or something similar then Damn that was quite a racist remark!

  • BBaller

    @nbk his comment about asians was a generalisation, not racist. There is a difference. White Men can’t Jump,Black men can’t swim, All poms are whingers,Americans are rednecks and ignorant, French are arrogant and rude,it’s simple minded but not racist in essence. I agree more thought should be put into his comments.If he’s comparing Blacks to monkeys then that’s damn right disgusting.Lets not pay him any attention.

    His comments about Asians was a racist generalization that was in no way true. And Jane Goodall is famous to her research and understanding of chimpanzees.

    I really feel like this play has been blown out of proportion. It was on all the espn shows and I kept missing it, I came here and saw it and was actually surprised that it got so much coverage. After the shot he put his head down and started sprinting back. Yes, it was silly to not keep your head up and see who got the rebound but its not really that newsworthy. To me, Javale is one of the few bright spots on the team. He works hard on both ends and doesn’t complain. You can’t so both of those things about anyone else on that team.

    It’s not interesting if you know the racist history surrounding black people and primate comparisons. That’s like American History 101.
    If you know your history it goes from interesting to obviously racist. It’s not even a contest.

    Just look up the topic. Spend about 15 minutes using Google to see the history in this country of comparing black people to monkeys. I mean, you do realize that a slur for black people is “porch monkey” right?
    So, with that history in mind, the comment is clearly meant to be racist. There is no other reason to make the comment.
    It’s like making a comment built around stereotypes about “money grubbing jews” or “drunk Irish”. But, I think people realize that. People aren’t ignorant of these stereotypes or their history. That’s why they laugh at these jokes. The only way the joke is “funny” is if you know the stereotype that underpins it. People just don’t want to change, so they find reasons to rationalize that decision.
