This is a tough one but I'll take EArl, I'm not totally convince by McAdoo's scoring ability being central to that team and since he played mostly in an era without 3s recorded, I can't see any evidence of him being a good stretch player either to play the 1-in 4-out offense with Howard.

mcadoo is widely recognized everwhere you look as one of the all-time best shooting big men, one of the most unstoppable scoring big men ever

this short vid with highlights and commentary sum up mcadoo pretty well

this 10 min vid on a 50 pt game shows off all his talents

i never actually took to the time before to look into mcadoo, but when i started researching for my 1st pick, i was shocked and just how good he was. his scoring ability is rivaled and surpassed by very few.

My big issue with Mcadoo is his defense, not his offense.

Ill take dock's team. His defense is too good and I like the shooters around that lame center he has.

yeah of course, though he wasn't a total zero. good shot blocker. i was just speaking in general to the perception of mcadoo and just how great he was offensively, not really arguing for the vote.

I was going to say positive about your team, but I rather not :lol:
