JaVale McGee of the Phoenix Suns has played in the NBA for 14 seasons now and has been a part of eight different teams including the Washington Wizards, Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, and Los Angeles Lakers.
That has accumulated him a lot of success and three Finals victories.
However, the work he’s currently doing with the Suns is getting a lot of attention.

McGee was downright powerful on Monday night in Game 1 against the Mavericks.
While he walked away from the game with only 4 points, he did have one monstrous steal and got the crowd on its feet.
In the fourth quarter, McGee was able to steal the ball from Luka Doncic and then head to the other end of the court, where he slid past Jalen Brunson and scored an easy two points.
It was a smooth, exciting play from the big man and once again showed how deep Phoenix’s roster is.
JaVale Justified
There have been a few times in McGee’s career when he was the butt of the joke.
In fact, he’s probably been on Shaqtin’ A Fool more than any other NBA player.
However, you can’t deny that the guy can ball.
His career average is 8 points and 5.3 rebounds in 821 regular-season games.
And those three championship rings aren’t given out to just anyone.
McGee on the Suns could provide a lot of help in the weeks ahead.
He will always come off the bench but, when he does, he could perhaps produce a few plays like the steal from Monday night.
One of the many reasons why Phoenix is so great is because they have a seemingly endless bench that is always ready to do damage to opponents.
McGee is just another example of that.
