Bob McAdoo Was A Savage #nba #lakersnation #lakers #kareem #showtime #losangeles

He used to tell Kareem, “I used to bust your ass, you baldhead motherfucker.” I used That’s how he would talk to him. I swear to God. I used to give your ass 50. Am I lying, Gary B? That’s how he would talk to Kareem. We’re in Detroit. We’re flying commercial in those days. These guys don’t they don’t understand. And I have a 100 pieces of luggage in the snow and I got these players that I got to get on the plane. Josh Roosefell is our PR guy and I can’t be in two places at one time. I go, Josh, do me a favor. Take these boarding passes, go to the gate. Do not give them out until they step onto the airplane because if you give them out while they’re seated, somehow they’re going to lose them right in mid stride. That’s when you hand them their boarding. Okay. So, he does it and I get I get to the gate. He’s not he’s not looking too good. I go, “What’s the matter?” think [ __ ] up. So, what’d you do? They got gave Magadoo Kareem’s seat and Kareem’s in Magnadoo’s seat. Kareem’s back there stewing. Don’t worry about it. I’ll fix it. Okay? Cuz I had great relationship with both of them, right? I go up to D. Hey, Mac. I said, you got to help me out with this. Okay. Josh was handing out the boarding passes and he gave you Kareem’s seat by mistake and now Kareem’s back there and I I think he’s he’s pissed off. Then he looks back at Kareem. looks back at me. Nah, [ __ ] that big baldheaded [ __ ] He ain’t the only one with long legs. I like to stretch out once in a while. Hey, you know what? Ask that big ball head [ __ ] when I used to give them numbers. Numbers. I remember I remember it. And he’s looking back at Kareem. You keep wanting Kareem to hear him. You know what I mean? And now like he’s sucking me into this deal. You know what I mean? Like what am I crazy? And now like No, but now like what am I going to do about it, right? You know what I mean? You know, and I just I look back at Kareem and I looked at him and I said, “Have a nice flight. I guarant.” And I went and then I walked by Kareem cuz I was like in the back, right? Yeah. Yeah. I said, “It’ll never happen again.” Okay. And that was that. Yeah.

  1. Thanks B. Scott for highlighting Bob McAdoo. I'm old enough to remember when Mac gave everybody numbers. He was shooting 3's before the line was even drawn.

  2. Bob McAdoo was wild 😭😭😂😂 amazing guy in person when I met him at a fan fest as a member of the Miami Heat

  3. All these hypotheticals come on we can go on for days. What if Iverson had a teammate like Rashard Lewis or even a Mike miller Shane battier. Give AI a B+ player. AI got last stop Mutombo n Weber 😂
