Bob McAdoo

So Kareem and Magic were among the first NBA players to earn a million dollars per season, with Magic signing an unprecedented 25-year, $25 million contract.

The rest of the starters got raises too, and the Lakers also added Mitch Kupchak, Kurt Rambis, and the veteran center Bob McAdoo, adding size the team had been lacking.

Some of the off-season moves weren't as popular, as many people within the organization didn't agree with the big salaries of the new players.

And to add to all the drama, Norm Nixon and Magic also didn't see eye to eye.

They haven't retired a single number.

I think Bob McAdoo-

Yeah

...

To the LA Clippers, this might be a biased take.

It's Bob McAdoo.

I read plenty of threads from Clipper fans suggesting CP3 as the franchise goat.

There were a few Blake Griffin mentions, but to me, Bob McAdoo is maybe the most underrated legend in NBA history.

He won an MVP and three straight scoring titles for the Clippers franchise in the 1970s.

And again, I'm biased because he simulates so well in 2K, at least historically.

Many a Hawks fan would make an argument for the human highlight film Dominique Wilkins, but Bob led the Hawks to their only ring back in 1958.

He also won a pair of MVPs.

He loves some Scotty.

Bob McAdoo.

Remember Bob McAdoo? 75 today.

Buffalo Braves.

Ooh, that's going back.
