If he can stay healthy I think we're looking at a really nice player that might put okc over the hump in the west once they get Durant back. Love to see a wolverine dominating, but I haz a sad when I think of what might have been...

NewsOK ran this piece about McGary a couple days ago - LINK

The quote from Mitch, but then you knew this about him:

“For me it’s just heart,” McGary said of his boundless energy. “I just love the game of basketball. It’s been taken away from me a couple of times and it made me not take things for granted because I know the game can be taken away from you just like that. Just really going out there and playing as if it’s my last game to play and giving it my all. I know people respect that. My teammates do and they want to go out and win just as bad as I do.”

As for the move, a great modern resurrection of an old favorite indeed. Well done, Mitch. Here's Hakeem using it on David Robinson.

Was at the game last night.



The most impressive thing is that Mitch doesn't look intimidated. Robin Lopez is good at playing mind games and Mitch didn't really bite on any of it. His enthusiasm was great the whole game. Saw Trey play earlier in the year and he played well also. Just glad my Blazers pulled it out.
