VIDEOS: Mavs' McGee was born to block, dunk

Steve Mitchell / USA TODAY Sports

It'd be a bit of a stretch at this point to say JaVale McGee has been reborn in Texas.

The 27-year-old center has, however, enjoyed a recent surge in his on-court production as one of the newest members of the Dallas Mavericks.

Although McGee averages only 11.6 minutes, his per-36 numbers are solid - 16.9 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks - and his 20.3 PER is as high as it's been since 2012-13.

Oh, and he's really good at blocking and dunking.

With plays like these, Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle may be inclined to send McGee out onto the hardwood more often.
