Most field goals missed outdated

[edit]

The record for most field goals missed has been broken by Lebron James after the season opener of the 2024-2-25 season. His record now stands at 14,485. The source of Kobe's record has been updated and thus doesn't need updating. NekrozTrish (talk) 22:18, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This part should be deleted (about Vince Carter): 

(only player to have played in four different decades)[1]

The cited part is a false interpretation of decades. Since the timeline starts with the year 1 (there was no year 0), the first decade in history was from 1 to 10, therefore the recent decades were from 1991 to 2000, 2001 to 2010, 2011 to 2020, and the current one is from 2021 to 2030. Since Vince Carter started his career in 1998 and ended in 2020, he played only in 3 decades, namely the 1991-2000, the 2001-2010 and the 2011-2020. So, there is a difference if you speak about the 2nd decade of this century, which is from 2011 to 2020, and the 2010s, latter meaning the years 2010-2019. But you cannot call the latter a decade according to Chronology as an auxiliary science of history. You may check also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade.

The source provided, admittedly from the NBA has "he became the first NBA player to appear in four different decades". There's also [1] and [2] which says "Vince Carter becomes first NBA player to appear in four decades". I think this requires more discussion as well since as our decade page says, a majority of people in America think of decade as going from 0 to 9 and not 1 to 0. Any other sources that say something different, @Gergely Nagy HU? Skynxnex (talk) 20:55, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Being year 1 on timeline the first year, describes sufficiently what we need to follow. The first decade was 1 to 10. If we chose different starting years other than every year ending with 1, then you can even say the same about Lebron James as well, if you define decades like 1994-2003, 2004-2013, 2014-2023, 2024-2033. In this case, Lebron James habe been already played in 4 decades as well.
But as I mentioned, no matter how wrongly in the US the word 'decade' is used, history and chronology has strict rules. If you do not accept this, then you say that the first decade lasted only 9 years (i.e. 1-9) which is wrong, of course.
Just because there is a source outside of wikipedia that says something, it doesn't become true. The cited source page is wrong but that one we cannot edit. Let's not follow something that is wrong.
Just because there is 200M US people who say something, it doesn't become true. History and chronology have the same strict rules all over the world. Let's follow them. Gergely Nagy HU (talk) 21:22, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In general, we follow what Wikipedia:Reliable sources say. And they seem to think it's worth of note that Carter played in four distinct "cultural" decades. True it's arbitrary but many reliable sources use the cultural decades to divide up things, both inside and outside the US, and they basically always use the 0-based decades so that's what we use as a general principle. Skynxnex (talk) 22:48, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done: I'm agreeing with Skynxnex here, no original research is a policy, and as sure as we may be that the sources are wrong, that's not our call to make. We write what reliable sources write. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 21:53, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Three brothers same game

[edit]

Are the Holiday's the only trio. I thought the Antetokounmpo brothers did so.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:36, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Holiday brothers set NBA record as all three play during Pacers-Pelicans game. Has something changed since December 28, 2019? - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 00:32, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see Giannis, Thanasis and Kostas Antetokounmpo become first trio of brothers to win NBA championships. But did they all play in a regular season game together? - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 00:34, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, they played together for 52 seconds on March 31, 2021. GreenPepper1 (talk) 20:02, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
