Top 5 JaVale McGee NBA Dunk Fails

By

1. McGee Tries To Murder James Jones (Dec. 18, 2010)

Just 10 days after his uncontested free throw line attempt, McGee tried to take off from just inside the stripe again. Only this time, James Jones was in his way. He had just made a nice block on the defensive end, so maybe he thought he’d earned a little freedom. Instead, he earned an offensive foul and a seat on the bench.

What do you think? What’s your favorite McGee dunk fail?

    the rim stuff near jr smith is clearly the funniest. mcgee, you’re betta than that.

    Javale McGee has to be one of the stupidest nba players in the league

  • First & Foremost

    His dunking exploits are blown out of proportion. Down 6, you are trying to mount a comeback, breakaway, what do you do? Off the backboard wouldn’t be my choice of dunks, but you do something other than a layup.

    A windmill, 180, cradle, Statue of Liberty, 360, Tomahawk, or just jumping really high, would have done the job. Throwing it to yourself, between the legs, grabbing a cupcake off the rim, hitting your head on the rim, taking your shoes off and launching barefoot, behind the back, or backflips are a little over the top.

    However, if your team is going on a run, you do something that gets the fans out of their seats forcing the other coach to call timeout.

    If Dwight did this with the Magic down 8, at home, mounting a comeback, would it be called one of the best in-game dunks ever?

    dime reads my mind! I did think that the free throw line dunk miss was no. 1.

    I agree with a previous post: McGee has to be among the top 5 stupidest players in the league.

  • aaron

    Javale is so classic. omg hilarious

  • EN FUEGO

    So that’s why the Philippines wants him as a naturalized player.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    this list is inspiring me to use him in Create A Legend mode in 2k12, lol.

    If he ever develops, somehow, into a HoF player, he is going to have an awesomely entertaining ‘start’ to his career.

    The funniest thing is how he hangs his head right after he realizes he missed. Like he’s a teenage guy who busted a nut in his pants, and he’s like “oh shit, not again…”

  • beiber newz

    you’ve experienced accidentally busting a nut in your clothes while outside in public before? i didn’t know that happens…i hear people shitting in their pants…releasing semen…eh, not so much.

  • Orange

    the #1 dunk he might of wanted to be like vince just reversed, a 7 footer jumps over a 6 foot 7 dude.

  • Chaos

    he reminds me of this guy in high school that always went for dunks at the most in opportune/retarded time which ersulted in an epic fail

  • Rich

    @Chaos

    You remind me of a guy in high school that dropped out.

    If I was coaching him, I’d bench him whenever he missed dunks. But I wouldn’t care that he threw it off the glass to himself in the 3rd quarter. VC and Dominique Wilkins used to do 360s and 180s in traffic in the 4th quarter of a close game. If he makes it cool. If he doesn’t he gets snatched out for blowing 2pts.

    That FT line miss is one of the most Epic Fails in basketball dunking history and shoulda been number 1 easy. Seriously who the hell would try that while you’re away and down 20+pts with 19sec left?!?!? Shyt is too funny!

    He has some of the nastiest dunks I have ever seen. That is how I look at it from a fan point of view. But from a teams point of view, he was trying to show off instead of trying to make the simple play.

  • Big Island

    I don’t think the order was wrong at all. I mean the free throw was really bad, but the one on Miami was comical. I could watch his legs flap 1000 times and still laugh. Plus the “rebound” was equally awful.

  • lester

    Such a stupid idiot.

  • ab40

    I was near courtside on number three haha, he missed another reverse dunk there that missed went up and landed at the centre of the court

  • .K.i.n.G.

    I’m sorry but number two should be number one just cause of the situation alone, and I frankly laughed harder at the #2 video. That fail gets me everytime! HAHAHAHAH!

  • beiber newz

    yes ^^ llol i said the same thing. number 2 is the funniest.
