I think the NBA made a big mistake by not including him in the 50 greatest player of all time despite having a better professional career than some of the players that was chosen in 1996.
24 yrs.old Shaq over Bob Mcadoo ( BS)
Scottie Pippen over Bob Mcadoo ( BS)
Pete Maravich over Bob Mcadoo ( BS)
Robert Parish over Bob Mcadoo ( BS)
Bill Walton over Bob Mcadoo ( BS)
John Stockton over Bob Mcadoo ( BS)
James Worthy over Bob Mcadoo ( BS)
Lenny Wilkens overs Bob Mcadoo ( BS)
and
so forth
Mcadoo was the only former NBA MVP that was not included in the NBA 50 Greatest Player of all time, and he won his MVP Trophy during the dominating reign of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 1970's.
During the 1975-76 Season, the 6'9" Bob McAdoo averaged 34.5 points, 14.1 rebounds and 2.12 blocks, with an incredible shooting of 51.2 from the field and an impressive free throw percentage of 80.5. In the same season, he also led the NBA in fan voting for the All-Star Game.
Sports Illustrated also quoted that Mcadoo was "the quickest tall man, finest shooter and most astounding outside scoring machine ever to play basketball"
He was also a former NBA 3 times Scoring Champion, and one of the best shooting big men during his time
I think Bob McAdo0 was more worthy of a slot in the Top 50 players of all time, and it's a shame that the NBA didn't recognized his past accomplishment because he played on some bad teams. That same criticisms didn't stop them from putting Maravich in the all time lists.
I mean, Maravich was a decent player, but there’s no way he should be on the list before McAdoo.
Mcadoo was one of the best player in the 1970's and with his skills set i still think that he can also dominate in the modern era, and he is a genuine freak of nature.

But the sad part of it he was named in the 50 Greatest Euroleague Contributors, but the NBA didn't even acknowledge him as a top 50 player of all time.
