JaVale McGee is trying to make the most of his opportunity with the Dallas Mavericks.
“I’m a lot smarter and I’m a lot more patient in my game,” he said. “In college, I was 38 percent from the 3 [point line], and when I came to summer league with the Wizards, I shot a three and made it. The next game, [coaches said], ‘Don’t shoot no threes. Just rebound and block shots.’
“I’m like, ‘Damn, y’all just limited what I have been doing my whole life.’ ”
McGee does not look back fondly on his years with the Washington Wizards.
“It was a real negative situation for me,” he said. “I’ve always been blessed to be able to go somewhere else positive. You definitely learn it’s a business. Even if it’s people ahead of you that’s playing that’s not better, they make more money than you, they’re going to play. It’s not anything personal.”
seem like he just took it as an opportunity to take a jab at washington. I fail to see the correlation between playing smarting and patient and being told he can't shoot 3s. It's not like he is shooting 3's this season.
