JaVale McGee confidently agreed that he was a Grammy-nominated producer with Bieber. He said his pivot to the music industry happened because he loved the technology in that field. According to McGee, nowadays anyone could make beats from a computer and not just from a violin.
He confessed that he could not play an instrument. On the contrary, he was a self-proclaimed tech “nerd.” Poo Bear apparently returned to basketball with a full song. This song was “Available” from his album “Changes”.
“Wow, that’s crazy! I really have a Bieber song?“said the star of the Mavs.

His interest in music was as ardent and enduring as his professional basketball career. McGee has been on many teams for over a decade and has also networked several producers.
But McGee must take over for the Mavericks. Otherwise, the expectations placed on him and his potential can be wasted. NBA executives think he’s not a good fit for the franchise. Still, a good scoring chart would be music to JaVale McGee’s ears right now.
