COPPING SOME PLATYPUS

JaVale McGee's Crusade for Investigative Journalism and Non-Speculative, Facts-Based Reporting

By Rembert Browne at

On the JaVale McGee front, news broke today that a bill has been filed in the Philippine House of Representatives to naturalize McGee as a citizen. Among other things, this would make him eligible to play for that country's team in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Fascinating story, one that I'm very excited to see play out.

But believe it or not, that's the second-most important JaVale McGee–related news of the week. The other piece of news is more important, because it involves me, you, JaVale.
