JaVale McGeeA lot of people have a lot of opinions about JaVale McGee's inclusion in the dunk contest.

Some people think he's too "tall/goofy." Some think he'll win. "I'd drop $20 on McGee, for sure," wrote DC Sports Bog's Dan Steinberg.

His coach, Flip Saunders, could care less: "Gerald Green won the dunk contest. Where is he at right now?"

These are all reasonable feelings to feel. You see, I think the thing about McGee is that ... HOLD THE PHONE DID HE JUST PICK A PIECE OF PAPER OUT OF THE NET WITH HIS TEETH ON THAT DUNK?!

(Yes he did. It's about 25 seconds into this video from CSNWashington.com.)



JaVale McGee really believes in his dunking ability, and so I have no choice but to believe in him as well. Also his arms can reach from the foul line all the way to the basket. This is a fact.

If Blake Griffin hadn't won the dunk contest a month ago I might even be inclined to plunk $20 down next to Steinberg.
