Dunk production

it is a real stat for gods sake it makes sense and please keep it up even if it is not widely used u have to admit its useful at the least —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.70.127.38 (talk) 23:50, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Even the article admits that it's a "realitively (sic) unknown stat". Clarityfiend 02:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

So, what does that matter? So anything unknown to most people should get deleted? More people will find out about this stat if it stays up here, and it actually makes sense, its not some stupid wikipedia page that someone makes that has nothing to do with anything, this actually is a statistic that makes perfect sense. It shows the best dunkers in the NBA, period. Its not made up or spam or anything, its just an unknown stat, and wikipedia's purpose is to show people information they do not know, which is what this article will do for dunk production. More people will find out about the stat and find it interesting and informative, and thats the bottom line. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.70.127.38 (talk) 02:25, 20 September 2007 (UTC)


 * It might help if you could point to other places where the statistic is used or tabulated, just to reassure people that it is not a personal invention. --Rumping 13:47, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

People talk about it all the time on espn message boards http://boards.espn.go.com/boards/mb/mb?sport=nba&id=general

and on real.gm theres a couple of players who are shown to be great dunkers and dunk productioners —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.70.127.38 (talk) 23:35, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * and gives no hits. Nor do or .  gets some but they don't seem to support the statistic.  --Rumping 18:53, 22 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep - needs Citations to survive its next encounter with AfD Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  17:24, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete + salt in light of evidence and lack of any Cite = COI + hoax Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  19:13, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

dude you searched espn.com on google, not espn.coms message boards

go to the boston celtics message board and they talk about it all the time

and im sure on google youll find some dunk production threads on there, it should pop up —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.91.192.161 (talk) 18:24, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Let's follow up your suggestion and look at which which shows you ("SIRSPORKS4" on epsn reversed to "Skropsris" when you wrote Dunk production) are using Wikipedia to claim the statistic exists.  A clear case of Conflict of Interest and Original Research --Rumping 11:27, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

DP (dunk production) IS a real stat. It was used heavily in the highschool/college teams I played for. Just because it doesnt show up on the back of player cards or on your favorite stat website doesnt make it FAKE. Oh yeah, and for the dude above..."Skropsris" is a slang term in Latvian, dont you think if it was the "Sirsporks4" guy that he'd put the number in at the end of "Skropsris" too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reggieramone (talk • contribs) 14:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
