Walter A. Brown Trophy
After cleaning up and thoroughly referencing this list, it meets all criterea. Comments will be addressed. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie  » 15:35, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - As the lead is pretty stubby, it might be best to merge it with that stubby section of prose. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  15:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Questions
 * What was it called before the "trophy was renamed for Brown"?
 * And, less important and maybe obvious (but I don't know so I'm asking), who re-named it for Brown? Was it the team owners, the commissioner, or a board? maclean 18:22, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The trophy was presumably unnamed before it was renamed for Brown. When I worked on the list NBA Awards, I can't find any references that indicate the trophy was named. As for your second question, I believe it was the NBA who renamed the trophy.—Chris! ct 21:43, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * Ref 37 doesn't verify note 3. —Chris! ct 21:43, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I basically address every problem. But I can't really expand the lead anymore since that is everything I got from my research.—Chris! ct 23:32, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * How about saying who won the Walter Brown trophy the most times? That's something that would be interesting to note since the table isn't sortable. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  16:53, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Added —Chris! ct 21:22, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Can it be referenced? KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  21:29, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think it needs reference since it can be easily verified by looking at the table.—Chris! ct 22:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia can't be used as a reference for itself. It should be a simple matter of finding one from Basketball Reference. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  02:12, 14 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I think that there is still too high of a dependency on primary sources (31 refs out of 37, plus one without a publisher which I assume is also NBA.com).
