Who knew when Kevin Durant joined the Warriors that he wouldn't end up being the longest guy on the team. No, that honor belongs to Javale McGee, the 7-footer with an 8-foot wingspan.
Throwing lob dunks to McGee has to easily be the best part of being on the Warriors. As long as the aim is good McGee should be able to sky up for just about any lob and throw it down with relative ease. That's exactly what happened in Game 2 of the NBA Finals when Durant connected with McGee.

McGee didn't even have to make contact on the screen. Once Channing Frye bit on the ball-handler it was a wide-open lane behind him and an easy two points on the beautiful lob by Durant. All McGee had to do was throw it down.
This is another gorgeous play by McGee that is probably going to get him paid handsomely this summer. He has been great for the Warriors all season and a perfect fit in their system. It's hard to believe he was out of the NBA before signing with Golden State.
