From Lee Jenkins' new profile of Denver Nuggets center JaVale McGee in this week's Sports Illustrated:
JaVale McGee And Your Parenthetical Aside Of The Day
↵↵There’s more to McGee than he lets on. He writes music. He creates clever comedy sketches featuring his alter ego, Pierre McDunk. (He has a tattoo of a mustache on his index finger, which he puts over his lip when he’s in character.) He is a techie with five iPads, six laptops, two desktop computers and all the latest software. When friends and family have computer problems, they call JaVale. Nuggets officials watched the bloopers but viewed them in a different way. Sure, McGee ran back on defense while his team had the ball, but at least he ran back on defense. And sure, he missed a free throw line dunk, but at least he wasn’t afraid to fail.
↵↵Yeah, that might the most incredible paragraph ever written in the history of the NBA or Sports Illustrated. The fact that it’s completely serious makes the whole thing even better.
