James Michael McAdoo: Journey To The NBA Hardwood

Posted Jan 9, 2015
James Michael McAdoo will tell you exactly how it felt when his name wasn’t called at the NBA Draft this past summer. “It’s a tough pill to swallow. Especially when I see (other players) and think, man, I used to play with these guys,” McAdoo said. “They’re all-stars, they’re making millions of dollars, and here I am in the D-League, a place at one point I would have never envisioned myself to be at.” (Sea Dubs Central)
