Some players try to reduce the gravity of playing against LeBron James as a way to insulate themselves. They insist he isn’t that big a deal. They say he’s just another guy. They try not to acknowledge what makes him such a unique player.
Last year the Golden State Warriors asked McGee to face James at times in the Finals, starting him for Games 2, 3 and 4.
“I was just honored to be in the situation to be able to guard the best player in the league one on one and be able to do it well,” McGee said.
