JaVale McGee: It seems like they don't want us (big men) here in NBA
McGee: The prime example is them taking us off the All-Star ballot.
JaVale McGee said that the NBA is trying to get rid of the big men.
McGee joined the Lakers after two seasons and two NBA titles with the Warriors.
Per ESPN, "It's extremely hard because it seems like they don't want us here," McGee said after Wednesday's practice. "They're trying to get us out of here. The prime example is them taking us off the All-Star ballot. They literally took the whole position off the All-Star ballot. So just think about that."
"We don't even have a choice," McGee continued. "We have to go against guards, and we're not going to score 40 [to get the same All-Star consideration]. It's just, we work hard, though, so we have to adjust our game the way everybody else does; so now we don't stay back [by the rim] as much, we're up [on the perimeter] more, we know how to switch.
"So, it's just the evolution, I guess."
