Professional career

McNeill was drafted in the second round of the 1973 NBA draft, by the Kansas City–Omaha Kings, and would play with the franchise until 1976.[1] That year, he was traded to the New York Nets, for a third-round draft pick. In 1977, he signed as a free agent with the Golden State Warriors. The following two years, he signed as a free agent with the Buffalo Braves and Detroit Pistons. McNeil also suited up for several teams in the Philippine Basketball Association, once scoring a then record 88 points, in one local game, in 1983. He also spent several seasons in the Continental Basketball Association with the Wilkes-Barre Barons, Utica Olympics, and Rochester Zeniths.[2]

McNeill continues to hold the NBA record for the most field goals in a playoff game without a miss, going 12 for 12 in a playoff game in 1975, with the Kings.
