Watch JaVale McGee attempt to help deliver the ABC 7 weather report: 'It is spicy over there'

If the Golden State Warriors center JaVale McGee ever decides to quit basketball and reroute his career ... he should probably not look to become a meteorologist.

McGee tried his hand at delivering the nightly weather report on ABC 7 News Thursday night alongside news vet Spencer Christian, and while it didn't exactly go well, it was pretty entertaining to watch for everyone — including Christian.

McGee livestreamed his reporting via Instagram's Live feature — which is why he's holding up his phone — so his 581k followers could see the experience from his point of view while he described what was going on: "Over in Vallejo, it was going to be a quake but they decided not to quake over there."

Later on, looking at temperatures, he comments on the forecasted 102 degree heat wave about to roll through: "It is spicy over there."

McGee definitely appeared to have had a good time, telling his followers as the segment wrapped up, "That's how you do the weather. Wow."

The Warrior was at the news station to promote Juglife, a charity he founded with entrepreneur Kez Reed. Juglife was created to help provide clean drinking water to underdeveloped areas of the world and to promote education around hydration and the benefits of water.
