Video: JaVale McGee with the nice dunk, and team-wide embarrassment

No wonder Michael Yang left Yahoo for good.....He read this story!
Dwyer......take a long walk off a short pier bro! You suck!

Kelly Dwyer (author of this article) and Flip Saunders should both be looking for new jobs. This is one of the worst articles I've ever read. It's completely inaccurate. The Wizards were down by six points at the time of the dunk. Where he got the number 14 from is beyond me. If you were talented like McGee, playing for a horrible team like the Wizards, it's no wonder he's trying to have a little fun out there somehow. At least he didn't miss.

When your a fan of the Washington Wizards and you go to a game if you cant see a win you want to see something amazing and that was amazing. Fans to be entertained something to say yeah we lost but that dunk sure was nice. Flip Saunders takes all the fun out games. Why do you think Pistons players stopped playing hard for him leading to his firing? They did just enough to make it to the East Finals but thats it.

What school did you go to that 64-60 is a 14 point lead?

"Won/loss percentage?" *facepalm* my god these Yahoo writers f****n suck!

Kelly Dwyer, if your coach is 26-56, 23-59, and 1-12, his substance is LOSING.

I have been a Wizard fan for 40 years. Flip Saunders jumps all over McGee and has NEVER made an example of Andray Blatche for his on the court miscues. McGee converted the dunk. Saunders got mad, called a timeout. Inserted Blatche and Crawford and the Wizards took three point shots that were shots, they committed technical fouls which unlike McGee's dunk, put the Wizards farther behind.

Since Flip Saunders became coach the young Wizards have been called dumb by the media. I want you to know that this particular fan believes that dunk was EASY and low risk by McGee. It got some of the crowd excited. It was not worth bench a guy or giving him bad press.

Only a rotten coach like Saunders blames his players for every little thing. If Saunders put McGee back in when the Wizards got to 98-103, at the very least his player doesn't have to be outed by a coach that does one thing well: Flip Saunders throws players under the bus so media like you can assassinate their character.

Write your story and put every dumb expression on McGee's face that you can. The truth is McGee has improved this season. Flip Saunders has NOT.

In Yahoo writer land, you must be terrible at simple addition. It's a requirement.

Um, he actually cut the Rockets lead to 4 (64-60). It was a dunk that HARDLY mattered in the grand scheme of things. For all the flack that Javale gets, Flip is a clown. He'll allow Wall to stay in a game after getting t'd up following a staredown when he dunks (vs. Boston), and ROUTINELY lets Blatche loaf, get beasted on by Dalembert, and shoot 19 footers w. no repercussions. Javale has been a whipping boy for as long as Flip has been the coach and other guys do just as many dumb things with no punishment. The team sucks, but McGee has been the best player thus far into the season. He's made a ton of progress on both ends of the floor. If anyone needs to be benched, it's Flip.

And another thing...when talking about Javale's triple-double, just remember who was drawing up plays for him in the final minutes of that blowout. Flip.

stupid coach! that's why wizards always lose simply because of the system of flip! it doesn't fit well to the young guns.

Embarrassing???? I dont get whats embarrassing about throwing down a flashy dunk on a break away. Flip Saunders should be embarrassed. I dont get the context of him being on a bad team. Is it only o.k. to have fun if you're on a good team? Because nobody seems to mind the constant ally oops at the heat games. And to the commenters that are sayin he should learn how to play defense, you should learn how to look at facts because McGee leads the league in blocks/game and is in the top 10 in rebounds/game. Everybody who is upset needs to chill out.

Flip needs to get fired!! His team is not a 1-12 team, so that's on the coach. J.Wall hasn't developed this season and I think that's on the coach. Fire him!!

Yeah Flip... that's the issue... dumbazzzzz.....

you know kelly dwyer definitely does suck. i think yahoo should fire his guy. he ridicules people with his poorly written (and most probably inaccurate articles). maybe yahoo should check how many negative comments you get every time you write and fire you. this aint trolling, this is truth,,,,

So what, he showboated on a fast break dunk. That kind of thing can fire up your team and give them energy and turn the tide of the game in your favor.

Or your coach can 'flip' out and bench you for it, hurting your teams chemistry and drying up any momentum that you're gaining.

Flip Saunders is just looking for people to blame, hoping somehow to distract attention away from himself so he doesn't get fired. It's not going to work. He will not last the season.

Flip lost this team a long time ago, and probably for excessive antics like this. I could see the benching, and yet again trying to publicly humiliate your player if he missed. He didn't miss. Talk to him about in the locker room and move forward. I've seen far worse shots by far better players. Flip is not a teacher. He's a dictator and he needs to be fired.

Can the "writer" of this article tell me and every other NBA player what your records needs to be before its ok to perform an amazing dunk. An amazing dunk that any paying fan attending the game would absolutely love to see after forking over all that cash to watch the game, and would not mind even if it were performed by the visiting team, much less your own player. The writer goes to all the games for free, for the fans, this stuff is awesome. Screw the writers!! McGee, thank you for doing that dunk on behalf of all the true fans and especially those that paid their hard earned cash to watch you!!!

The real embarassment is using McGee as the scapegoat for team's failure

The coaching system of this team has a problem. Flip saunders should be kicked out from D.C. He should be lucky that Javale is still in his roster. It should have gone to Smart Gilas Pilipinas and be naturalized as Filipino. Everyone are excited every time this man steps on the court. He is like mini Dwight Howard. Unfortunately, the coach and staff of wiz are too stupid for them to win many games. Imagine, Blatche is in his peak of becoming a great player on the 4 spot. He is the future of Wiz with his anchor buddy John Wall. And what in the hell does this coaches put him in the bench and start other players like Trevor? See. Simple things like that cant really help a team to achieve their primary goals. Flip doesnt have to blame his players, especially young talents like Javale. Javale can produce rebs and blocks, and he just want to entertain all the fans. And he actually made the dunk with some flare. So how could the coaching staff let him sit down and watch the remaining of the 3rd q? see. Its within the stupidity of the coaching system that's why wiz can win straight games.

i had to watch a shi*ty 30 second dr. pepper commercial to see a dunk that took all of 10 seconds. lovely.
