When JaVale McGee Was 18, He Wore A Grill Made Of Aluminum Foil
First off, JaVale looks about 13 here. But he was 18, according to J-Mac himself when he posted the photo to his Instagram yesterday (throwback Thursday!). He was either about to start college, or was already Nevada's starting center. A little too old (and recent—just seven years ago) to be living the thug life by crumpling up some tin foil and wearing it in his grill. It's also the only bling that physically hurts to bite down on. But that's just JaVale.
