Quarantine days have got NBA players flocking to social media. In order to keep their fans informed and entertained, players often go live on Facebook or Instagram with fellow NBA stars or reporters. Steph Curry [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/stephen-curry/] has been chirping on social media lately, and his recent comments have made headlines. Curry and former teammate JaVale McGee spoke to each other on Instagram Live. McGee was part of the Golden State Warriors [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/] team that won back-to-back NBA titles in 2017 and 2018. STEPH CURRY RECKONS HE CAN DROP 60 ON ANYBODY IN THE NBA The 32-year-old Los Angeles Lakers center asked Curry about his shooting skills. Prior to the start of the season, players get their regular season schedule to get acquainted with their opponents and gamedays. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Curry11.jpg] McGee asked, “What team or player on that team that you know is guarding you, do you look at and be like, ‘Oh yeah, I’m getting 60 tonight?” Curry took a brief moment and replied, “Everybody”. The answer sent McGee running around his room screaming. He came back and exclaimed, “What is going on? Steph Curry just took shots at every player.” McGee further added, “I was not expecting that”, to which Curry replied “I gave it just for you. That was just for you.” Although Curry has not yet scored 60 points in one game, the three-time champion is confident of racking it up soon. The highest he has scored in an NBA [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/] game is 54 points against the New York Knicks in 2013. SPENCER DINWIDDIE GOES CRAZY ON TWITTER TO CURRY’S RESPONSE Brooklyn Nets Point Guard Spencer Dinwiddie has been famous around social media in recent times. When news broke out that Chicago Bulls are hiring a new GM, Dinwiddie jokingly posted on Twitter that he would be willing to join them as their first-ever player/GM.

<h2 style="text-align: center">JaVale McGee: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
JaVale McGee is a 7-foot center who plays for the Phoenix Suns in the NBA. McGee is a three-time World Champion, winning two rings with the Golden State Warriors and the most recent one with the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/los-angeles-lakers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Los Angeles Lakers</a> in 2020. 

McGee was born on January 19, 1988, in Flint, Michigan. He attended two high-schools in his hometown before transferring to Hales Franciscan High School in Chicago. He evolved as a versatile forward/center in high school and later took his talents to the University of Nevada, Reno.

McGee found very little playing time as a freshman and his numbers were stagnant as well. Moving on, he worked hard and earned his place as the team’s starting center in his sophomore year. The Michigan native <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/javale-mcgee-1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">averaged</a> 14.1 points and 7.3 rebounds in 2008, after which he declared his eligibility for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> Draft. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">JaVale McGee NBA Career</h2>
The <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/washington-wizards/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Washington Wizards</a> picked up McGee with their 18th overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. He spent three years with the team and never made the playoffs during that stint. He <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/mcgeeja01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> averages of 10.1 points and 8.0 rebounds in his last year in Washington, after which he was traded to the Denver Nuggets. 

McGee saw reduced playing time and started fewer games with the Nuggets, and they later traded him to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2015. Things didn’t look bright at Philly either as McGee was waived just a month after being signed. 

The Dallas Mavericks later picked up the seven-footer where he missed the team’s first 13 games due to an injury. McGee kept his career in Dallas brief and joined the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Golden State Warriors</a> after just one season. 

<img class="size-full wp-image-332401 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200804144821/bng-l-warriors-0213-20-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1707" />

Success finally reached JaVale McGee after switching between five different teams. McGee filled in the Warriors’ requirements and was a part of the team that achieved the double in 2017 and 2018. 

McGee moved on from the Warriors after the second championship and signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. He averaged 12.0 points and contributed well in his rookie season as a Laker and eased into his role a year later to help them win the 2020 NBA championship. 

But his stint with the Lakers came to an end right after and played for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2020-21 season. Although he played well there, he was shipped to the Denver Nuggets this offseason which eventually led to another deal, and is now going to be playing for the Phoenix Suns in the upcoming 2021-22 season.
