Bob McAdoo loves to reminisce about his playing career, especially the five seasons he spent with the Buffalo Braves. And with good reason. In 14 seasons in the NBA, the 6-foot-9 forward won two championships, was named Rookie of the Year in 1972-73, named NBA MVP in 1974-75, was a 5-time All-Star and won three straight scoring titles (1973-76).
