Mostly looks good; I added a link to college basketball for good measure. The "had played" indicating the start of his father's career is a little cheeky, but it's not wrong so I'm cool with it. Article long enough, sources are solid, no copyvio concerns, hook is interesting. The first source is solidly cited inline in the article, but the second source is only cited for other information in the article. So you should either cite this newspaper source for the DYK, or change the citation in the article to cite the "Old heads" article for the "over 60 years earlier" sentence. Good stuff overall! (also for transparency this is my first time reviewing a DYK, hope I'm not doing anything disastrously wrong) BanjoZebra (talk) 16:03, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @BanjoZebra: Thanks for the review. Sorry for the delay in responding: I added the 'Old heads' source for the "over 60 years earlier" sentence. Is that alright? Thanks, BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
