Ron Artest provides criticism of JaVale McGee

It does sound like an insult when Artest says that McGee doesn't watch film and plays video games on an Atari instead of a playstation, but I agree with Ron on this issue.

JaVale needs to improve his fundamentals and carefully watch film more (he def watches it though not necessarily as much as he should). That way, he can hit more of that potential he has. Right now. he just tries to swat shots like we see in video games, and a third of the time, they're goaltends. We likely lead the league in that category.

But at the same time, Ron didn't have to make McGee seem like a totally clueless player which the Atari statements make him look like....

I agree with him. He relies on athleticism too much. But remember dwights first 2 years? He was EXACTLY like mcgee...even similiar in build.

and I like how mcgee plays around the basket (unlike andray) He doesn't do all of that reversing and spinning and shit..He dunks the basketball..period.

lol @ plays video games on an Atari instead of a playstation.

While praising McGee for his incredible athleticism, Odom also provided a rather astute assessment of McGee, noting that he still needs to develop a better feel for the game "because the game is called basketball, not run and jump."

I also heard something about Kobe saying that John Wall should get out of his Reezigs and switch to the Nikes.
