This is interesting. But where is the love for Bob McAdoo. He didn’t start in the NBA until he was 21 years old. And he is way up on the list. Bob McAdoo is an underrated all-time great player.
Very true, somewhat of a forgotten star, with the caveat that he was a bit of an empty calories type of guy. McAdoo really struggled to have post-season success until he joined the Lakers later in his career.
I am more surprised seeing Dwight Howard on this list. He was such a limited offensive player, yet was only two points shy of Shaquille O'Neal at the same age. Obviously Howard came into the league much young than Shaq, but for a defensive specialist, he still was able to put up remarkable offensive numbers.
I still wonder if Howard had actually gone to college for a season, or had been drafted by a team with better veteran leadership, he may have behaved differently.
