. In 2016, when the Mavericks announced the layoff of McGee, he sat at home to pack his luggage and prepared to go to Europe to relax with his mother - at that time, he really thought he was going to say goodbye to the NBA.

Just as McGee's basketball career was about to come to an end, a phone call from the Golden State Warriors became the most precious "lucky charm" in his life. The inclusion of the Bay Area is the only NBA existence: here, no one will avoid the embarrassing things he joked about the "Five Embarrassment", and the locker room is full of warmth. In order to protect him, Green publicly squirted with O'Neal and bluntly said, "Don't use other people's flaws as jokes." Durant will take the initiative to accompany him to practice more after training and help him adjust his defensive position; Curry and Cole together with Kerr, specially designed the "pick-roll down" and "air relay" tactics around McGee to completely activate his dominance in the inside.

Although McGee has limited playing time with the Warriors, his efficiency is firmly at the forefront of the team - his finishing rate at the basket is as high as 70%, and his judgment on the timing of blocking is becoming more accurate. In 2017 and 2018, the Warriors won the NBA championship for two consecutive years. When McGee held the championship trophy and tears fell from her eyes, countless fans were moved. Even O'Neal, who once spoofed him, publicly apologized on the show: "I shouldn't tease McGee like that. He is a great player and a good person." McGee, who completed the redemption, did not stop. After leaving the Warriors, he wanted to use his strength to prove that he deserves higher recognition in the rest of his career: the Lakers gave him a 2-year contract of 8 million, and he became a reliable inside barrier around James; the Suns' 5 million per year, and he used his 9.2 points and 6.7 rebounds per game to help the team to enter the playoffs; the Mavericks' 3-year 20 million is the best affirmation of his ability. In the summer of 2021, McGee ushered in another highlight of his career - he was selected for the American men's basketball team, competed in the Tokyo Olympics with the team, and finally won an Olympic gold medal. In the fan circle, everyone describes McGee as follows: Below the neck, it’s all super giants! This is undoubtedly the best description of McGeemanger's physical talent.

3 NBA championship rings and 1 Olympic gold medal. When 36-year-old McGee gradually faded out of the NBA last summer, his career was already complete. But he did not immediately announce his retirement, but chose to retake his mother's path and go to Europe to play basketball - on the courts in Italy and France, he seemed to see himself wandering around with his mother when he was a child, and he also completed the reconciliation with the past.

Some people say that McGee is "the luckiest person in the NBA": she was saved from the operating table by her mother when she was born, encountered the Warriors' redemption at the trough, and gained honor and respect at the peak. But this luck is never accidental. Without the solid foundation laid by his mother's strict training, he would not be able to gain a foothold in the NBA; without the resilience he never gave up with ADHD, he would have been desolate in the joke of the "Five Embarrassment"; if he had not maintained his love for basketball when he was on the verge of retirement, he would not be able to grasp the olive branch handed over by the Warriors. McGee's story redefines the meaning of "luck": it is not waiting for opportunities to come, but sticking to the trough of fate, moving forward in the torrent of misunderstandings, and finally meeting the right person at the right time, turning talents and efforts into sweet wine in life.
