Bob Mcadoo should have been included in the top 50 players of all time in 1997.

I agree, he could have easily been named to that squad, and I think he was one of the last omissions on the cutting room floor. He twice led the league in scoring and followed that up by winning some championships with the Lakers. McAdoo's main weakness was dribbling, but he made up for that in the other areas.

He's a very overlooked player in historical discussions. Most casuals know nothing about one of the greatest scorers in NBA history.

A lot of people thought he should have been back-to-back league MVP, but too many people thought he played for a loser of a ballclub, so the 1975-76 trophy went to Laker great Kareem instead, who had a historically statistically outstanding season despite not making the playoffs. It's hard to imagine how that wasn't enough to get his team into the playoffs, but it implies how strong the conference competition was. To date, Kareem's 1975-76 season is the last MVP who didn't make the postseason.

grew up on the Braves with 2 for McAdoo and Randy Smith and Ernie D and Doctor Jack and Marin's birthmark, lots of games attended at Buffalo and nearby Maple Leaf Gardens

Bob.... his game is most repped by Durant today, except Bob had to cover all the centers and do the rebounding

The Braves were a solid team, never getting past the Hondo C's or Hayes Bullets

Bob didn't care at all about the media, this worked against him.

Bob went off to the cratering/capsizing of the very beloved Knicks, in tandem with Spencer Haywood they couldn't get it right and this was like a crime against humanity to the fans and media.

Great player, great memories, but he wasn't accomplished enough to ignore or be hostile to the media to still get respect. Moses Malone was too accomplished for the media to ignore his media tactics at honours time.
