Great rivalry Celtic/Braves rivalry in early 70's. Cowens and McAdoo had great games against each other.

To put it into perspective: at the time of NBA naming the 50th anniversary team, McAdoo was the only previous MVP winner not included.

He garnered the praise of Bill Russell, Elvin Hayes, Tiny Archibald, Isiah Thomas, Earl Monroe, Robert Parish, and Dominique Wilkins. That's as good as it gets. That's why it's vital that people continue to interview these old legends, and the younger ones as well and that people listen and watch. People have forgotten someone as great as Bob McAdoo, absolutely unfathomable when you look at his numbers, his game, and the teams he played with. Saddest of all is watching him talk about how important that first L.A. championship was for him and witnessed (thanks to YT) how hard he worked to win that championship and stop other teams like the Sixers from getting it. McAdoo needs to get some credit for enabling the Lakers win the '82 and '85 championships. That dude is an unsung MVP of that team.

Bob McAdoo was possibly the second-best former Tar Heel after Michael Jordan.

I’m very happy for him that he finally gets the respect that he deserves. He should’ve been top 50, but he got his well deserved credit this time.

Got to see McAdoo with Ernie DiGregorio and Randy Smith in an NBA exhibition against the Pistons in Saginaw, Michigan, in my early teens. The Braves scored a lot and gave up just as many in '73-'74, before the second year for Bob and Ernie D.

He is like between Kevin Durant and Dirk Nowitzki in his prime.

He is better than both players Ronald. Yes, I'm that old. the days of side burns and high button shoes McAdoo was better at outside shooting then either Barry or Maravich in his prime.

The Braves did win games and made the playoffs a few times with McAdoo!!

The three point shooters after 1980 and that includes Larry Bird should be thankful that the three point line didn't come in until then otherwise we would be saying Bob McAdoo is 'IT'. Then, unknown first year coach Pat Riley acquired him and the rest is history. Very underrated player. The Cudos he is getting nowadays is very long overdue.

@Amick44 Жыл бұрын

Great pure scorer. But most of his damage was mid range and in. Although he didn't have the 3 ball in his prime.

Riley was a player from Kentucky, he played in the ncaa championship game, then was a long time Lakers player with Wilt & West. He wasn't unknown.

Old time coach was Jack Ramsey . Bob McAdoo was a Great Player. NC should have won a title with in in '72 but Dean Smith keep a system where 5 subs would come in after so many minutes ( maybe 7 or 8 ) Team couldn't get any rythym so they got beat by Florida State

Florida State went to a point guard attack. They had a little guy off the bench that took out their guards.
