After becoming an NBA champion for the first time in his nine-year NBA career, JaVale McGee couldn't help but dash some of his usual humor in his post-celebratory Twitter antics.

I'm the only person ever with a rat tail and a NBA championship! Let that sink in!🏆
— Javale PIERRE 3Xs McGee (@JaValeMcGee) June 13, 2017
McGee infamously debuted this triple rat tail early in the NBA season, drawing plenty of jokes and comments over social media, but the three tails didn't do justice to his transformation as an NBA player, going from Shaqtin' A Fool MVP to key bench contributor.
The 7-footer didn't log too many minutes on the court in his first season with the Golden State Warriors due to his asthma problems, but was as impactful as a center can get in his limited run, averaging 6.1 points in a career-high 65.2 field goal percentage, along with 3.2 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks per game.
McGee led all NBA reserves in dunks during the regular season — now whether that is the power of one of his three rat tails, that is a story for another day.
