“I told him that’s unacceptable,” Saunders said about McGee’s highlight dunk. “I mean, maybe I’m too old-school, but save that for the all-star game. Not during the game.”
Afterward, McGee didn’t understand why Saunders was so upset as he explained, “Apparently, if you get a fast break and throw it off the backboard in the third quarter, and you’re 1-11, you’re not supposed to do stuff like that. . . . I felt like I was trying to get the team hype and trying to make a good play. I felt like I did that and we went on a run from there. But I guess not.”
When asked if he regretted the play, McGee quickly replied, “No.”
That dunk was a highlight for that game. No big deal.
