Coaches and general managers do not have the time to watch game tape or be around the player long enough to change perceptions. When a player with a bad reputation hits the market it stays with them -- see the story of...

JaVale McGee’s Mother: ‘My Son is the Future of the NBA’
The last time many of us paid any mind to JaVale McGee’s mom, she was smooching Dr. J during the Dunk Contest. This time, she gives a fascinating interview to the WaPo about her son: “He is not a knucklehead,’ Pamela McGee says. ‘JaVale is a good kid. My son is special. He has gifts you can’t teach: hands, height and heart. If I’m the Wizards and I’m really...
JaVale McGee's Mother Has Some Ideas About How The Washington Wizards Should Showcase JaVale McGee

Wizards fail to take advantage of undermanned Celtics
It’s getting to the point that the last thing the Wizards need is for an opponent to show up without an injured starter. Chicago didn’t have Derrick Rose nearly two weeks ago and John Lucas III did a reasonable impersonation of the league’s two-time most valuable.

Javale McGee’s mom would like you to know that she didn’t raise a ‘knucklehead’
JaVale McGee, we're sorry, has spent a good chunk of his four NBA seasons playing like a bit of a knucklehead. There might be a sound NBA player in there somewhere, but so far the Washington Wizards center seems to want to remain the guy who chases down big stats and silly dunks at the expense of typical basketball protocol.
