Bob McAdoo Lakers Highlights - Scoring Machine 

It took over a year, but I finally finished my Bob McAdoo video. There wasn't enough footage of his Braves career to make satisfactory video about that era, but there was more than enough footage of his Lakers days. Bob McAdoo was a revolutionary figure in NBA history. There have been jumpshooting big men since the beginning of the NBA. But Big Mac was the first one who could hit shots off the dribble. He had a array of hesitations, spins, fakes, and crossovers that he used to make space. While McAdoo had slowed down considerably by the time he went to LA, he was still good enough to torch bench units (and Larry Bird) as a super-sub off of the bench. As always, please let me know who you'd like to see next! I'll try to work on another football video as well, but let me know which basketball star you'd like to see too! PS: Dear nonplayerzealot4, I gave you a shout out in the description box, since I used some footage from your channel.

One of the most Underrated Players of all time!!!! He’s in my top 10 of PFs Of all time!!!

Pat Riley's use of McAdoo was brilliant, playing him only 15 -20 min a night allowed Bob the opportunity to play and keep his injuries in check. When he was on the floor the entire game changed as every play revolved around Bob putting up numbers. Bob often got standing ovations just waiting to come into games - everyone knew what was going to happen. If the Lakers were down 5 - Bob would often sit down with them up 10 - it was night after night he just dominated.

We remember well him in Italy. He was a great player

McAdoo led the league in scoring three consecutive seasons 74, 75 & 76

I was only 14 when Big Mac joined the Lakers, he was one of my all time favorite Lakers!

The 82 and 85 Showtime Lakers would mop the floor with any of Jordan's championship teams. They had McAdoo coming off the bench.

How discouraging it must have been for teams that managed to hold the Lakers in check only to have that guy come off the bench and just light them up. McAdoo probably turned a lot of would be Laker defeats into victories. Talk about a secret weapon!

Durant reminds me of Mcadoo. He could score from anywhere. When he was with the Braves it was kinda like Durant in OKC. But he did not have a Westbrook. P.S. Some young NBA fans wouldn't believe Buffalo had a team. LOL. Great videos. How do you get them? Keep up the good work.

While all the emphasis here is on scoring, Mcadoo was an excellent defender and rebounder. IMO, he was one of the most complete ballers the game has seen.

Great player

Wow I just shook hands with a bucket in Vegas . 🔥🔥

Lakers just had too much power.... That's why I was glad the Sixers got Moses... McAdoo said Moses was everything the Sixers needed and then some.😊😊😊😊🔥🔥🔥🔥💖

Damn nice

Another Laker great. Bob Mc adoo

That is the best crooked jumper I have ever seen

McAdoo should be in the NBA 50 greatest .

When Mac and Kareem were in the game together, you almost feel sorry for the defense.

As a Sixers fan I was more afraid of McAdoo than anyone else....

McAdoo was an absolute beast when he was with the Buffalo braves and the New York Knicks he was more of a role player when he came to LA

mcadoo CAN DO

Jabbar nicknamed McAdoo "The White Knight."

he is fefiniley a alltimer hallof fame or not he was definitly robbed of being named top 50 of alltime team

grande Bob

He would be perfect at the four. He really could score anywhere within the three line. He could shoot, score in the post, and drive. Not an excellent defender, passer, nor rebounder but he wasn’t bad at it. I believe he would develop a decent three today (around 34% for a big on low volume). Which would make his game even better.

That first highlight of MacAdoo schooling Bird....there are plenty of that. A Mix tape of Larry getting smoked should not be too hard to make.

Did this guy ever pass the ball?
