[edit] Accomplishment

"During the latter years of his basketball career, he was also known for wearing thick glasses during games."

That isn't an accomplishment, that's trivia. 67.188.172.165 21:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Physical Description

Where is height and the other physical stats? Shouldn't every entry for an athlete have those? (The way, at least, they stood in the athlete's active days. We often shrink in height and gain in weight as we get older!) The Gnome 06:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Could someone provide a picture? 67.188.172.165 18:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 15:56, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aborted college commitment

I recall a broadcast in which Lefty or his co-commentator said that Moses actually came to College Park to register for classes, but left after 3 days to sign with the Stars. Anyone got the low-down on the actual time-frame of Moses committing to Maryland, being drafted by Utah, and signing his pro contract? Ellsworth (talk) 22:54, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Family

Wikipedia discourages trivia sections. There in information on his children in this section, but no "personal life," like many other sports legends do. There is no where to put some of that info. Basketball110 04:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "fo', fo', fo'"

Did he mean it will be 4-0 all the way, or "4 games at a time"?

On Dr. J's page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Erving - it says as follows: "... causing Malone to make the famous prediction of "fo-fo-fo (four-four-four)," meaning all the Sixers needed to do was win four games in each series. The media misinterpreted the comment and thought he meant the Sixers would sweep the entire playoffs."

I guess this is mentioned also on the 76ers page and probably others. Can someone clarify this please? Thanks. 89.138.18.232 (talk) 09:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The following news articles suggest that Malone was making a sweep prediction for each series: [1][2]. I inserted a citation request in the Julius Erving article to provide evidence for the assertion that the media misinterpreted Malone. — Myasuda (talk) 13:09, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Moses Malone Land
