James Michael McAdoo has learned from his basketball family

Posted May 16, 2014
Maybe you've heard of James Michael McAdoo, the 6-foot-9 forward who is entering the NBA draft after three seasons with the Tar Heels. More likely, you've heard of his family. McAdoo's parents, Ronnie and Janet, both played basketball at Old Dominion in the 1970s. And his father's second cousin is someone named Bob McAdoo, who happens to be one of the best players to ever play in the NBA. (Cleveland Plain Dealer)
