Hall of Fame

Under the Teams Selected table, for the Chicago Bull it sayz Zero for players inducted into the hall of fame, however when I click the hall of fame link, it shows Michael Jordan in the hall of fame. --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 13:23, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wait

Wait, isn't this list copyrighted by the NBA? Herostratus (talk) 03:24, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's a decision for the NBA. They released the details at a press event, as opposed to publishing it exclusively in a book or video.—Bagumba (talk) 08:31, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Top 10 Coaches in NBA History needs cleanup

Bill Fitch continued to coach after the list was published. In contrast to other coaches on this list who did so, he only has one coaching record entry - for his whole career. So his record up to the 95/96 season needs to be added. 165.1.194.41 (talk) 15:25, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Potential improvement to Players selected list

I'd say for players who were still active when being selected, the stats at the time of their selection is at least as interesting as their lifetime stats. So either change the stats to the status when they were selected, or do it like the Coach list and add their stats when they were selected above their lifetime stats. 165.1.194.41 (talk) 15:28, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
