Larry McNeill (January 31, 1951 – December 29, 2004) was an American National Basketball Association player. 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 most field goals in a playoff game without a miss, going 12 for 12 in a playoff game in 1975 with the Kings.
