That was the last ABA title for McGinnis, but he would be a First Team All-ABA Selection in his next two years with Indiana, and in what would be his final season in the league he would be named the ABA MVP with a 29.8 PPG (league-leading) with 14.8 Rebounds per Game.
McGinnis would then join the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA but would return home to Indiana in the middle of the 1979-90 season with the Pacers were now in the NBA.
McGinnis would be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2017, which was 32 years after he was one of three players to have his number retired by the Pacers.
