But JaVale McGee didn't have any qualms about a third-quarter dunk during the Washington Wizards' 114-106 loss to the Houston Rockets that revealed his incredible athletic gifts and also presented one of the many reasons why his team has been the most dysfunctional in the NBA this season.

With the Wizards trailing by six points, Trevor Booker dived to save a loose ball to John Wall, who threw it ahead to McGee, all alone on the break. As he approached the foul line, McGee tossed an alley-oop pass off the glass to himself, slammed the ball with two hands, then tapped his forehead to salute the crowd as he ran down the court."
