Clean Up[edit]

I did some major cleaning up here. The article looked more like an article found on a fansite.

We need more editors[edit]

We need more editors watching over this article, this vandalism remained on the page for almost a full 24 hours. Burntsauce 16:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uhm, and? This is wikipedia. It happens all the time.--203.214.28.117 15:46, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Someone has changed all of the numeric facts on this page to incorrect and even outrageous numbers. He is not 7'11" and 678 lbs. Did not score 50,000 points, etc. 2601:282:1A7E:1A00:742E:C910:4782:A79E (talk) 12:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Ruffin Error in March 30th 2007 game versus the Toronto Raptors[edit]

The blooper committed by Michael Ruffin at the end of this game is worthy of being mentionned on this page in a factual manner and should not be deleted. The play will go down in history as one of the strangest occurences ever in NBA basketball and was of great significance to the outcome of the game, which dropped the Washington Wizards to sixth place in the Easter Conference with only a few weeks left in the regular season and which allowed the Toronto Raptors to take a 3-1 lead in the season series (thus giving them home-court advantage in case of equal records with the Wizards at the end of the season). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kingsley0707 (talk • contribs) 15:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]
