Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 21 - Bob McAdoo (1981)
The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the "New Jersey Americans". Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today. To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise's jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 22nd of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 21, which has has had a total of 26 players wear the number in the history of the team. The sixth of those players wearing No. 21 played in the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets era, Hall of Fame big man Bob McAdoo. After ending his college career at UNC, McAdoo was picked up with the second overall selection of the 1972 NBA draft by the (then) Buffalo Braves (now, Boston Celtics - it's a long story). The Greensboro, North Carolina native would play parts of the first five seasons in the NBA with the Braves. He would also have stints with the New York Knicks, Celtics, and Detroit Pistons before signing with New Jersey in 1981. His stay with the team would span just 10 games before he'd be on the move again, this time to the Los Angeles Lakers. During his time suiting up for the Nets, McAdoo wore only jersey No. 21 and put up 9.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Cameron McAdoo update: 'I still have a couple months until the doctors will release me'
Cameron McAdoo will not return to action until at least the end of the 2025 Pro Motocross season, according to an update by the rider on social media. 'Wanted to jump on and give everyone an update on my progress with the knee,' McAdoo posted on Instagram. 'Things have been going well and moving forward as planned with the recovery, I still have a couple months until the doctors will release me to be back on the motorcycle.' If McAdoo and the doctors are accurate in their timing, that would coincide with the week between Rounds 9 at Ironman and 10 at Unadilla. After starting only three rounds of the Monster Energy Supercross season, and finishing last in two of those (earning zero points), McAdoo is 48th in the combined SuperMotocross League standings with a gap of 38 points to 30th, which is the cutline to receiving an invitation to the playoffs without an overall win. 'This one has been a bit longer recovery due to it being my second time having this ACL worked on,' McAdoo continued. 'I am missing being on the bike and getting to go race on the weekends more than anything right now but as I know in due time I will get that opportunity. In the meantime, I've spent a lot of time pedaling bikes, at [Range Sports Therapy], lots of [physical therapy], and checking off some honey-do projects haha.' It is possible that McAdoo would choose to skip the last two rounds even if his knee is healthy enough for Unadilla or Budds Creek. His last attempt in the Pro Motocross series was in 2022 when he finished 18th in the standings with 83 points.

The backstory In 2022, police seized more than 100 animals, including 25 dogs, turtles, birds, alligators and a goat from the same home. McAdoo was convicted in 2023. The judge said he was not allowed to have animals for a year. Local perspective Animal advocates want stricter laws when it comes to repeat offenders. Megan Jordan and Janelle Westbrook are the directors for Second Chance Animals of Greater Milwaukee. The rescue isn't directly involved with McAdoo's case, but advocates for animals neglected or abused. "There are so many of them, and you can't exactly track [them] easily," Westbrook said. "So everyone that adopts dogs – at all the rescues, all the shelters has somewhere, they can go and say, 'oh, this person has a history.' Right now, we don't have that." SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News They say state animal abuse laws are vague and don't require follow-ups when it comes to repeat offenders. "It is heartbreaking, but it happens a lot more than what people think, unfortunately," said co-director Megan Jordan. "It is very subjective, and repeat offenders can go get another animal the next day. So I feel like more monitoring in that aspect." McAdoo's bond was set at $5,000. He is due in court for a preliminary hearing on June 13. What you can do If you think there is a facility or person operating without a license, there is a complaint you can fill out with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture.

On this day: McAdoo to Hall of Fame, Red Claws become Maine Celtics
On this day: McAdoo to Hall of Fame, Red Claws become Maine Celtics On this day in Boston Celtics history, former Celtics forward Bob McAdoo was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame alongside Detroit Pistons point guard Isiah Thomas and several others in 2000. McAdoo was, at best, a reluctant Celtic, traded to the franchise from the New York Knicks. He was concerned about the racial climate of the city, which had a reputation for being particularly hostile to African Americans. Conversely, team president Red Auerbach had not been consulted on the deal by ownership and nearly quit as a result. But all parties stuck it out for six months, and McAdoo was dealt to the Detroit Pistons for draft assets. McAdoo played 20 games for Boston, averaging 20.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2 assists per game with the franchise. Also, it was on this day in 2021 that the Boston Celtics announced they were changing the name of their G League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws. The familiar lobster mascot stayed but turned green, and the club was henceforth known as the (Portland) Maine Celtics.
