McGee is 33 years old this year, has long passed the peak, and can play such a high level, which is beyond the expectations of too many people. In fact, as early as 2016, McGee was considered unable to play in the NBA. Because at that time, McGee was cut consecutively, and almost no NBA team was willing to give him a chance. The CBA was considered McGee's best home, and there were CBA teams that threw him an olive branch, but he refused.
Luckily, before the start of the 2016-17 season, the Warriors gave McGee a chance. Here, McKee completes the rebirth. Previously, McGee mainly relied on talent to play, and at 2.13 meters tall, he was physically well-conditioned, fast and explosive. With talent, McGee got a lot of gorgeous data and won a 4-year, $40 million contract. But McGee has also been unable to get rid of the taunts, and the critics are too low, only neck below the world class. As he grew older, McGee's physical talent declined, and his performance deteriorated, to the point where no one cared.
The Warriors are full of players with outstanding ball business, Durant Curry is a top player, and Thompson Green is no less than a player. Plus, the Warriors were also the most literate team at the time. Near Zhu Zhichi, in the Warriors, McGee also learned to play with his brain. This compensates to some extent for the degradation of physical functions face-to-face. While the role is mostly as a substitute, McGee also has a brilliant performance, contributing to the Warriors' two consecutive championships.
In the 2019-20 season, McGee joined the Lakers, continuing the high standards of the Warriors era and becoming the Lakers' champion. Traded to the Cavaliers last season, McGee's playing time skyrocketed, and the stats soared. This year, McGee also entered the U.S. national team, with which he won an Olympic gold medal. Before the season began, McGee took the suns by the hefty, getting a $5 million-a-year contract from Phoenix.
Not failing to live up to the sun, McGee continued to play at a high level. The reason for the turnaround is that McGee has not given up, but also because he met the Warriors. If a person wants to succeed, in addition to his own efforts, he also needs a certain amount of luck, and it turns out that he is also correct.
