(2016 NBA Finals)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
As I was looking through the C-Class articles, I was looking for an article along the lines of sports. I'm a fan of most sports but basketball is my favorite of them all. I don't watch many games on TV but when it comes to post season basketball and the championship, I love to get together with friends and watch the entire series. The 2016 NBA Finals was also one of the greatest finals of all time due to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers making a come back down 3-1 (best of 7 series).

Evaluate the article
In the beginning of this article, the topic was clearly introduced in the first sentence and did not give too much away but gave you an overview of what you were about to read. The first paragraph of the lead section basically wrapped up the most important events that took place during this series, and brought up a bit of the history from both teams. Towards the end of the lead section I feel that there could have been too much added detail that didn't need to be said... It talked about the days of the week when the games were being broadcasted, which isn't the most important detail to introduce in the lead section. As I was scrolling through this article I did feel a bit overwhelmed from all the different sections being introduced. It was very statistical due to player stat lines so It was a little confusing at first. Something that I found interesting but really wasn't needed was who broadcasted these games on game night. I feel like that is a bit unnecessary and went too much into detail about it. This article was recently updated and seems to be all up to date based on the information that's currently there. This article was written from one viewpoint and that's the actual events that took place in all 7 games. The paragraphs for each game were well written and gave you all the information you needed to know. I did click on some of the links to see if they worked still and one link actually brought me to a "page not found" on the daily times, but most of the other links worked and helped explain everything about basketball. There were plenty of blue links to explain words that were shortened, for example "pts." is points and there was a link explaining the point system in basketball which is probably very helpful for people who do not watch basketball or want to learn more about it. I did not find any grammatical errors when reading through this article and I found that the images used were very helpful. The pictures were not outdated and there was a ton of them. After reading the entire article I felt that it was formatted perfectly because of putting the games in order and having everything you need to know everything about the 2016 NBA Finals. If I were to make any changes to this article myself, I would talk more about the teams regular season that year. I would try to go more in depth about each teams line up and try to make it as the best finals of all time.
