Mr. JaVale McGee Currently playing with the Dallas Mavericks is a professional basketball player from the United States. While he was a student at Nevada Wolf Pack, the Washington Wizards selected him with the 18th overall pick in the NBA Draft in 2008.

With the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020 and the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018, McGee has won three NBA titles. With the Warriors, he won his first two championships. Both a professional career and an Olympic gold medal from the 2020 U.S. team belong to McGee.

After being chosen by the Wizards in the draft, McGee signed a two-year, $2.4 million contract with them on July 9, 2008.

But in 2010, the Wizards fined him $10,000 for participating in Gilbert Arenas’ theatrical performances that were designed to lighten up a serious incident involving guns in the locker room. After being captured in a photo laughing and joking with Arenas, McGee was disciplined.

Despite this incident, McGee represented the Wizards as the first player to participate in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest in 2011, making team history. With three basketballs used in one slam, he broke the record for the most basketballs dunked in a single jump, but Blake Griffin beat him to the record.
