George Karl has his moments of frustration with
JaVale McGee, but he also sees the potential. McGee is a guy capable of making a highlight play every time he touches the ball sometimes those highlights end up on Shaqtin a Fool, sometimes on the SportsCenter top 10.
This is one of the good ones he stops on a dime, goes under
Omer Asik, which creates space enough to pass off the backboard to himself for the alley-oop. (By the way, it seems to come up in a comment/email every time there is one of these off-the-backboard passes it is legal. The NBA rulebook specifically addresses how you can pass off the backboard to yourself. Seriously. Go look it up.)
