Honors
McAdoo's style was very modern for his time. Although a 'big man' at 6 ft 9 in (2.06 m), he had no problems taking shots from the perimeter, which, in his prime, made him a nearly unstoppable force on offense. McAdoo was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000. In 2008 he was named to the 50 Greatest Euroleague Contributors.
He still holds the Braves/Clippers record for most minutes played per game (40.1), field goals made per game (11.1), field goal attempts per game (22.1) and defensive rebounds per game (10.3).
In 2006 he was recognized as one of the 60 Greatest Players in NBA History.
