 * ... that Don Barksdale became the first African American basketball player to play in the NBA All-Star Game after he was selected to play in the 1953 game?


 * Symbol question.svg Five-fold expansion and newness confirmed. Also appears to comply with core policies.  Spot-checking does not reveal unduly close paraphrasing.  See duplication detector results here and here.  The hook fact is short enough and quite interesting (at least to sports history buffs).  The hook fact is also supported by an inline citation to The New York Times. Looks generally good with one exception.  You have more than 10 DYKs behind you as shown on your talk page.  Accordingly, you are considered an experienced DYK participant must complete a "quid pro quo" review for each new DYK. Once you've done that, leave me a note and I'll pass it through.

 * Sorry for the late response, I've reviewed a DYK nomination above. Thanks for the review. — MT (talk) 15:34, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
