Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee shared a clip of his fight with a giant bug in a parking lot.

Initially, everything seems to be going alright for the Lakers center. But towards the end, McGee suddenly ducked and ran for his life.

It's hard to see the actual bug, but it's worth noting that McGee stands close to seven feet tall. So when a guy like that suddenly runs for his life, the only conclusion is that bug must be something out of this world.

McGee is preparing for his second season with the Lakers. Last year, he played 75 games (62 starts) and averaged a career-best 12.0 points on top of 7.5 rebounds per game. He also shot 62.4 percent from the field and 63.4 percent from the free-throw line.

McGee is expected to be the Lakers' starting center in the 2019-20 season. He could find himself fighting for the starting spot against the newly signed Dwight Howard, but the general consensus is McGee will hold the position.

It's undoubtedly an exciting time in LA. This Lakers roster is probably their best since the Kobe Bryant era of the late 2000s to 2010 to actually win a championship. Bug fighting aside, hopefully, McGee can provide the team with a much-needed presence in the frontcourt.
