JaVale McGee says they built a whole show around making him look stupid and kept all the money “I didn’t understand how strong the media was. I didn’t realize that people actually took it serious.” “I did one bad play, but I had 15 and six blocks, but y’all didn’t show none of that… I was just like, ‘Oh shit, people really think this. I’m really bad.’” “And then the NBA started getting behind it too.” “They had one episode where it was like top five of me… I can be the clown in the league. You got the WWE, the villain, the good guy. But both are getting paid.” “You’re gonna have to pay me clown money then. I can play that role, but you not about to pay me mediocre money, disrespect me and push my career down the hill.”
