Five defining games
A researched consensus introduction to Bob McAdoo's defining games.
Cross-checked NBA and team legends profiles, official franchise playoff records, contemporary season histories, verified archive box scores, major historical retrospectives, and recurring fan discussion. The list treats McAdoo's career as three distinct acts: unprecedented inside-outside dominance in Buffalo, a frequently overlooked Knicks playoff peak, and the Lakers reserve role that changed his legacy from individual scorer to champion. Context separates the two Buffalo 50-point regular-season candidates rather than ranking solely by points.
