Talk:Micheal Ray Richardson

Assists and Steals
One item says, "His bright success at the beginning of his career. He was the 4th overall pick in the 1978 draft, and in his second year, he became only the second player in history to lead the NBA in both assists and steals. Nate "Tiny" Archibald was the first to accomplish the feat with the Kansas City Kings." This last fact is not true. Archibald is the only player in NBA history to lead the league in points and assists in the same season, but he never led the league in assists and steals. (This can be ascertained here: http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/architi01.html).

I've never edited before and don't have an account, so I wanted to write it here before I changed anything.

Restructuring
I restructured most of the article (NBA Career)and tried to put it in chronological order (as best as I can manage). Grifter tm 03:53, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Grifter tm

Spelling of name
Are we 100% certain that he's a "Micheal" rather than a "Michael"? Google results are mixed. --Spudtater (talk • contribs) 09:52, 23 February 2011 (UTC)


 * According to him, it’s Michael not Micheal. I think we need to change the name accordingly. Vinnylospo (talk) 16:45, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
