Kevin Ware[edit]

~~... that when Kevin Ware sustained a broken tibia playing basketball, a piece of the bone punctured his shin?~~

Reviewed: 1963 Alabama Crimson Tide football team

Was just coming to T:TDYK to make sure this was nominated. Good to see it is. Article was newly created on March 31. Over 3k characters of prose. The problem is with the hook. I know that the bone pierced the skin, but that's not stated in the article; it just says he suffered a compound fracture. Either add that text into the article, or we can go with an ALT hook... – Muboshgu (talk) 16:12, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that Kevin Ware's ankle injury during the Elite Eight resulted in sympathetic comments from Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant?

The alternate looks good. Albacore (talk) 13:15, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Okay then. ALT1 good to go. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:54, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
