If JaVale McGee is searching for a reason why his butt has been glued to the bench in Washington, all he has to do is look in the mirror.

The NBA fined the former Wolf Pack star $10,000 last week after he giggled like a school girl when Gilbert Arenas walked out for his pregame introduction with a mock gun salute, just days after reports emerged that the Wizards' point guard took out a gun in the team locker room. To McGee's credit, just about everyone in the team's huddle was doing the same thing, but it's what he did after that sets him apart.

Less than 24 hours after getting fined, McGee posted the following comment on his Twitter page:

"Most expensive laugh of my life...I'm scared to write lol."

Seriously? Does he want to get fined again? McGee's inability to take this incident seriously is appalling. Clearly, the seven-footer, who turns 22 next Tuesday, should have stayed at Nevada. Not only to polish his game, but his maturity as well. Maybe then, he would take responsibility for his actions like a man; because right now, in my eyes, he's clearly a boy.
