JaVale McGee joined The Drive Guys in studio Monday afternoon to discuss the Mike Brown extension, last season in Sacramento, and more.

Throughout the conversation, they asked JaVale McGee about the recent three year, up to $30 million extension head coach Mike Brown received over the weekend. The three-time NBA Champion credited center Domantas Sabonis for playing through injuries, claiming that mindset became infectious throughout the locker room in 2023-24.

Of course, they also discussed the future of JaVale McGee and if he plans to continue his NBA career. The seven footer also spoke highly of the young players on Sacramento’s roster, specifically their promising work ethics, while speaking with The Drive Guys.

All that and plenty of more great conversation centering around the Sacramento Kings and NBA as a whole cane be heard in the full interview above.
