When JaVale McGee was just about set to speak with reporters following the Los Angeles Lakers barely holding on to beat the Dallas Mavericks 114-113 on Wednesday night, LeBron James cut him off before he could start.
“You’re supposed to talk through the mask!” James yelled from across the room. “That’s what you’re supposed to do.”
The mask James was referring too was not that of a superhero, although McGee was the hero the Lakers needed and deserved in dropping a monster 16-point, 15-rebound and 5-block night on the Mavericks.
