JaVale McGee’s Three-Point Experiment

Zaza Pachulia laughs about JaVale McGee’s quirky three-point practice habits during their Warriors championship years, recalling how McGee shot threes despite being a center on a team full of shooters — and missing all nine he attempted. Pachulia, a 6-foot-11 center who never made a three in his 16-year career, sees McGee as ahead of his time for embracing the modern game’s perimeter evolution. While Pachulia couldn’t adapt his game to today’s three-point-heavy NBA, he champions toughness, smart play, and teamwork as timeless traits. He envisions the ideal modern big as a hybrid of old-school physicality and new-school shooting — pointing to Victor Wembanyama as the perfect example — and urges young players to prioritize three-point shooting to stay relevant in today’s game.
