How a Georgia freshman is redefining tall

Imagine being 7'1" before you even hit college—Jackson McVey knows all about it. Growing up in Ellijay, he was always the tallest kid in the room, but that didn’t mean basketball came easy. He had to work through the awkwardness of being super tall and skinny, and only dunked for the first time in eighth grade. Now, after a year at Overtime Elite, he’s not just tall—he’s a legit force. Even Georgia’s coach says McVey’s made the biggest leap he’s ever seen. What do you think: does height guarantee hoops success, or is it all about the grind? #Sports #GeorgiaBasketball #McVey
