As the Wizards struggled to yet another embarrassing road loss last night against the Sacramento Kings, center JaVale McGee — who has a penchant for always trying to make highlight-reel plays at the cost of developing a well-rounded game — decided that there was probably no better scenario than his team being down 25 points with seconds to go to try his hand at replicating the immortal Julius Erving/Michael Jordan dunk from the free-throw line.
It, uh, didn’t work out as he planned. I’m sure head coach Flip Saunders, whose handle on his team is already seriously in doubt, was just thrilled.
