Bob McAdoo was probably the best outside shooter in the game in the mid 1970's, and he was a big man. Brent Musberger was such a great NBA broadcaster for CBS. I was a kid in the late 1970's and I knew the NBA wasn't supposed to be too popular. MLB and NFL were no doubt the big leagues, and I think the NBA was just barely above the NHL in attention. It didn’t help that there was the rival ABA with some of the best players in the game. But Musberger made every NBA game exciting with his way of broadcasting the game. And there WERE great teams and players who were fun to watch. And that included Bob McAdoo.

Great upload, thanks! McAdoo is easily one of the most underrated players ever... This man was ROY, won 3 straight scoring titles, was league MVP once, and then even after injuries(plenty due to being “forced” to play center, when he was more of a PF, and bang in the paint with bigger players) and whatnot slowed his career, he was still able to win 2 championships with the Lakers, as a key reserve! He was tall, long, a great athlete, a great rebounder, could pass the ball, could play D, and - of course - his biggest strength was his scoring capability... either posting-up, finishing inside, winning FT’s and converting them, or (mostly) with his terrific shooting prowess; had just a fantastic jump-shot, with range, could create of the dribble, and he’s also one of the all-time best at making contested jumpers.

at 6:32 Bob finally misses one -- but of course he gets the rebound, immediately scores and is fouled. That's his whole career in one image. He seemed never to miss. He was also a fine rebounder and defender. His name isn't as celebrated as others from that era because he never got the Braves to the the NBA finals, and because he was a quiet person who did not the media limelight.

McAdoo was a helluva player and scorer. However, the Warriors won the chip in '74 and Rick Barry had a great year with a 30 ppg avg, 3 steals, 6 assists per game, and shot 90% from the line. The players were doing the voting and Barry was not well liked so they gave the MVP to McAdoo. I'm a McAdoo fan but Barry should have won the MVP that year.

I’d say that at his best, McAdoo was like a mix between Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Garnett (or the other way around, of course, because Bob played before them)... He was a terrific scorer like Dirk, and while not quite the pure shooter that Nowitzki was, McAdoo was still a great shooter and one of the GOAT’s at hitting contested jumpers; he also didn’t post-up as much as Dirk at one point started doing (with them turnaround fadeaways and such), Big Mac was facing-up more like KG used to, yet created plenty off the dribble and did shoot in people’s faces like Nowitzki did. Bob shot more from mid-range like Kevin, but then again, Dirk came up and played in “3pt era” while Mac didn’t. McAdoo was also a better rebounder than Dirk, so more similar to Garnett in that sense. Bob could pass easily as well as Dirk but not like a prime KG. Then on the defensive end of things, McAdoo was definitely better than Nowitzki, but - of course - not as good as a Kevin Garnett. As an athlete, Bob was a great one as a bigmen, more similar to KG (even body types to some degree), and better than Dirk. Plus, you can see a lot of McAdoo’s game and frame, in a player like Kevin Durant... I was just comparing PF’s more (because that was Bob’s main position on the basketball court, call it).
