JaVale McGee has subscribed to the world’s most over-used phrase…
“What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas…”

Except for your banks statements… Yeah, they stay with you.

After JaVale McGee put Andrew Bogut on a poster in game one between the Nuggets and the Warriors, Andrew Bogut ensured that would be long forgotten with a several monster jams in today’s game four victory.
None more notable that this monster dunk right in McGee’s face.
Bogut never forgets.

If there’s one thing that all NBA players should learn, it’s that you don’t mess with JaVale McGee during the Playoffs…
Aussie Andrew Bogut learnt this the hard way during his Golden State Warriors 95-97 Game 1 loss to the Denver Nuggets.
Despite playing a great game, keeping his Warriors in the game till the very end & finishing up with a stat-line of 9pts, 14rbs, 4bks & 3ass along with the best +/- of anyone on the floor wearing blue, Bogut’s game will more than likely be remembered for the moment late in the first half when JaVale McGee sized him up & floored him in a way that only Brandon Knight could relate to.
JaVale was unavailable for a response on whether or not JaVale has a personal vendetta against Australia.

It’s 12:52am Friday morning in Denver, Colorado… You’ve just finished a grueling 82 Game regular season, you’ve got 43 hours to prepare for your first game of the Playoffs… Then suddenly, the Phone vibrates. What do you do?
JaVale McGee’s always been known for his hilarious pickup lines that don’t work… Tonight, a bored JaVale thought he’d give some more of them a try, this time to a female friend who clearly, he’s already closed the deal by even receiving a text from her in the first place…
McGee tweeted out the conversation for all of us to see…


Play on Playa.
Well its official, this is the best thing that will happen to any of us this year.
#believethehype favourite JaVale McGee will be starring in a reality show alongside his ever enjoyable mother/manager Pam McGee.
So far we have seen snippets of their relationship on and off the court, but now Oprah Winfrey’s TV network OWN has given the green light for the show titled: Millionaire Mama’s Boy.
So basically we’re getting JaVale and Pam McGee and a bunch of her wise-cracking single friends who also have NBA bound sons….a sure fire equation for hilarity
Take a bow Oprah, thank you a million times over.

It’s been a while since our regular JaVale McGee updates… However, this week, #believethehype’s favourite son had something that just couldn’t be passed up.
Earlier this week, JaVale McGee threw down a huge monster dunk on Sacramento Kings star DeMarcus Cousins off a great alley-oop pass from Andre Miller. It was a cool dunk, even JaVale thought so when he tweeted this:

It was an awesome tweet from JaVale’s alter ego “Pierre”. Most people thought so. However, as we all know, there are always people out on social media that want to correct every little thing that you say. So JaVale very quickly got this tweet back from a fan:

A top unwanted science lesson for the guy who’s athleticism defies physics almost every time he walks on a basketball court… Despite this, JaVale was always going to do what Pierre does best… Have the last word:

Game, Set, Match Mr McGee…
At the end of the day, the lesson that needs to be taken away from this for us all is don’t go out of your way to correct people on social media about tiny little things like atmosphere/stratosphere… It just makes you look like a know-it-all. Oh, and also… JaVale McGee is still hilarious.

The NBA’s version of the “Bash Brothers” Kenny & JaVale are taking their nickname a little bit too literally these days, wearing all black, hoodies & colourful backpacks, they’ve decided to “follow” this SUV all the way from downtown Denver to Pueblo in the early hours of the morning for a gee-up…
Let’s hope they make their next game… Sh*t could get real.

Previously JaVale McGee has copped a bit of heat for his alley-oops off the backboard to himself, particuarly for his effort against Houston about a year ago whilst playing for the Wizards.
Coincidentally today against the Rockets, McGee brought the house down with another classic self alley-oop, but there are three reasons why this one was better:
1) It was probably the best option to score
2) The Nuggets were in front at the time and went on to
win the game; and
3) The hilarious fingerstache post dunk celebration that followed.
Classic JaVale!
