JaVale McGee's one claim to fame, aside from his legendary performances on Shaqtin' A Fool, is his defense.

The hyperathletic 7-footer boasts a career average of 3.2 blocks per 36 minutes.

This season, however, McGee has seemingly taken a step back. He's yet to record a block in eight games played and has contested just four shots in the restricted area all season coming into Wednesday's game.

And as Indiana Pacers forward C.J. Miles proved, players aren't really afraid to challenge McGee at the basket, especially when he's not paying attention.
