Talk:Rick Barry

Untitled
I feel strongly that the intro doesn't do credit to Rick Barry's total game, and will try to improve the intro.

Perhaps a picture of him could be provided? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.151.119 (talk) 08:34, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Needs a lot of improvement
Rife with POV, this article looks like a long time fan wrote it. There is a tone to the entire article that tries to be sympathetic to Barry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by A fine point (talk • contribs) 05:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Washington Caps
The article presently states that Barry "missed the first 32 games before the ABA forced him to join the team." However, it then states that he appeared "in only 52 games due to a knee injury." Since the ABA season was 84 games long, one of these statements is obviously false. Does anyone know the truth? 209.90.140.72 (talk) 00:45, 19 August 2014 (UTC) I know  that  Barry  suffered  the  knee  injury  early  in  the  season  in  a  game  against  the  Carolina  Cougars  in  Charlotte. I was  not  aware  that  he  had  missed  games  that  year  for  any  other  reason. I know  this  because  I  live  in  Charlotte,  and  the  injury  was  included  in  reports  of  the  game  the  following  day  in  the  Charlotte  Observer. I do  not  have  access  to  microfilms  of  that  paper,  but  somebody  who  does  can  confirm  this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.59.214.20 (talk) 11:53, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Did Barry Lead the ABA In Scoring Or Not?
The lead states that his 34.0 average in 1968-69 was good for the top spot, but with only 35 games played, seems to me Barry was ineligible for the title, which is corroborated by the stat box and basketball-reference.com, neither of which list his totals as league-leading.

In my view, that should be excised from the lead; any thoughts? Hushpuckena (talk) 16:44, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
