When it comes to NBA players dabbling in music, it is certainly not unheard of. Damian Lillard is well known for music being his side hobby, and Victor Oladipo has a set of singing pipes that would make a grown man cry.

One player in particular that doesn't immediately pop in to mind when discussing those that are musically talented is Javale McGee. The tall center with an even bigger personality is apparently an extremely talented producer, and used those talents to assist Justin Bieber with a song from his latest album.

For an artist as big as Bieber, it's a calculated risk to take on the production talents for someone who isn't established in the industry. It's a really cool moment for McGee, and he did a really good job of keeping his role a secret.

McGee has long had one of the largest personalities in the NBA, and has been a key part of the Lakers resurgence. The news that he was on a major album for Bieber will only add to the legend that surrounds McGee.
