Talk:Shareef Abdur-Rahim

Untitled
There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever to support any "curse" surrounding Shareef Abdur-Rahim. The "curse" gets 5 hits on google, all of which are Wikipedia or mirrors. Hence, I've deleted it. See WP:NOR as well. BoojiBoy 04:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

GA Review
I passed the GAC: This article was judged on 7 criteria:


 * 1) Well-written: Pass, could use slight copyediting.
 * 2) Factually accurate: Pass
 * 3) Broad: Pass
 * 4) Neutrally written: Pass
 * 5) Stable: Pass
 * 6) Well-referenced: Pass
 * 7) Images: Pass, no images on flickr. Quadzilla99 21:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * If you want to improve the article you could add it to the League of Copyeditors proofreading list, I've got Hakeem Olajuwon on there. It takes a while for them to get to the articles though. Quadzilla99 21:13, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good idea, I suppose we could do with waiting for this article at least. Thanks for looking at this. Chensiyuan 22:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Copyedit

 * Thank you and to Cricketgirl also. Sports is one area I know little about; the page was interesting enough that I'll read more. --Kenneth M Burke 17:07, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Personal life
Hi, this is a warning that the personal life information in this article is much too short. Any biography that is of GA standard must have at least one well organised paragraph describing the persons life outside of their field for which they are famous or otherwise incorporate that information elsewhere in the text. This article does not provide enough information on the person in question and does not give enough context for the incidents and information that is mentioned. For an example of how such a section might look, see Brian Urlacher and for pointers on how to expand and improve the section, see this guide. If this information is not improved then this article would be unlikely to survive a Good Article Reassessment and may well be delisted in the future. Thanks --Jackyd101 (talk) 10:39, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I assure you that I've hunted a long time for material on his personal life. No success. Chensiyuan (talk) 12:11, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Photo for article?
In the wake of a recent article on Bill Simmons' The Ringer mocking certain photos of NBA players used on Wikipedia, I searched Flickr again and found this photo below in which I think Abdur Rahim may be third from the rightmost player:
