During these long summer months where there’s no basketball on, I’m reminded of random basketball plays from Wizards history that make me smile. The one that popped into my head today is the one from a player who didn’t always make me smile: JaVale McGee.
It came in a November 2010 game against the 76ers. The headline matchup was supposed to be between John Wall and Evan Turner, the top two picks in the draft that summer, but the best battle of the night belonged to McGee and Elton Brand.
You’d be hard-pressed to find two more dissimilar players at the time.
