Transcript

00:00 I'm Melissa Rolando with Sports Illustrated and we're here with Jill Painter-Lopez.

00:06 Now Javale McGee is doing a blog where he's giving viewers an intimate look at what's

00:11 going on inside the bubble.

00:13 He's posting it on his YouTube channel and Jill, just how popular has this thing become?

00:19 Well Melissa, he was hoping to get a million views on his third installment, which he just

00:24 posted and he got there in just over 24 hours.

00:28 It's already at over one million views and people are just eating this thing up.

00:33 So what he's doing is he's taking all the videos himself.

00:36 He's going around with his video camera, all his teammates know and they're expecting some

00:41 jokes and laughter when he's around with his camera because one thing they're doing is

00:47 the food.

00:48 I mean, it's such an interesting thing.

00:49 I know I really enjoy seeing what they had for the day and in this latest one, McGee

00:54 posts he's going to the Lakers team refrigerator and he gets out the bag with his name on it

01:00 because it has the vegan eggs, no tofu and the handle broke and his eggs spilled all

01:05 over the floor.

01:06 So he had to FaceTime teammate JR Smith to see if he could have his vegan eggs.

01:11 Just funny things like that.

01:12 He shows Alex Caruso in his hotel room because they're zooming a commercial shoot and Caruso's

01:18 got his feet up on the chair making himself quite at home.

01:22 We also see him running to his massage appointment.

01:26 He's four minutes late, he said, with the massage therapist, Stacey Robinson.

01:30 So just so many different things like that.

01:33 I enjoyed seeing one of the women who is taking his temperature check and she was really short.

01:38 So she really had to reach high to take his temperature and he was laughing about that.

01:42 Just every little thing that you can imagine from the snacks to FaceTime to the weight

01:49 room, we got to see a little glimpse of everybody in there working out.

01:52 So just one of the best inside looks that you can get inside the NBA bubble and it is
