JaVale: So you’re not a pedophile?
Chris: No way man, I’m not into kids.
JaVale: And the twirly mustache and goatee…
Chris: Just for looks.
JaVale: How many times did you see Spy Kids 3D?
Chris: Like, 12 times.
JaVale: Alone?
Chris: Mmhmm.
JaVale: Yeah, I’m gonna go.

Click the picture to see Washington Wizards head coach Randy Wittman react to JaVale McGee fouling Drew Gooden on a 3-point attempt with a second left in the half. Wittman, who has held player’s accountable for their mental lapses after replacing, facial tick prone, Flip Saunders, as the Wiz head coach, benched McGee in the second half. McGee did not take the benching well.
In other news, wtf is wrong with uploading gifs to Tumblr?
When asked if he understood why he was benched or if he learned anything from it, JaVale replied, “I can’t say I do, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out sooner or later”
When does this end? When will the Wizards organization and (way too much) of their fanbase going to realize the JaVale McGee experiment is over? Potential doesn’t mean anything if the guy is straight up DUMB.
Yes, he does make spectacular plays. He’s having a career season, and is getting better, albeit slower than almost any “prospect”. But the flashy blocks can’t mask poor defense. He is to blocks what Craig Hodges was to three-pointers. And Craig Hodges wasn’t that good.
Frankly, the most telling quote from the article is this:
McGee will likely return to the starting lineup but, either way, he plans to approach the remainder of the season, “with a positive mindset and just going out there and playing as hard as I play and keep doing what I do.
No JaVale, don’t keep doing what you do.
Because what you do isn’t that good.
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Washington WiZone.
Submitted for your approval: Mr. JaVale McGee, 23, single, insane, baller. Mr. McGee graduated from Nevada a highly-touted prospect. A young man with tons of athleticism, it was expected that he would learn the game as time went along. Instead, it appears he’s regressed, along with the rest of his teammates. Former number one pick John Wall has found he’s unable to make a shot, Andray Blatche can’t stop running his mouth, and coach Flip Saunders is a grown-ass man with the name “Flip”. JaVale doesn’t why this is happening. Perhaps if he looked around, he would realize he’s in… THE WASHINGTON WIZONE.

For fuck’s sake, JaVale, read a book. I’m not asking for you to be a great orator, but some basic comprehension of sentence structure would be nice.
Hey, I actually made this!
And not surprisingly, it sucks!
But when the Wizards beat the Celtics and you’ve been listening to OFWGKTA all night, what else can you do?
Seriously though, the Wizards are about to have the weirdest 3 years of any franchise in the NBA.
“Baller Shots has 300 followers? Now that’s just loco, ese!”
But it’s true! I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting the blog. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Baller Shots’ Mildly Valuable Player of the Night: Javale McGee.
7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 fouls, and a block.
Thanks, I guess. Better than Andray did, sorta.
