But the two-time NBA champion has silenced all his doubters this season. He has been playing tremendously well in all the games for the Lakers and has cemented his spot in the starting lineup.
McGee is averaging 13.4 PPG with 2.6 blocks per game for the season in just 24 minutes of playing time. He is currently fourth in the league in blocks per game.
McGee has formed a great tandem at the centre position with Tyson Chandler. He has also been fitting perfectly alongside King James and Lonzo Ball who have given him plenty of opportunities to showcase his dunking talent. McGee is also in running for the MIP award this season.
