Untitled[edit]

I am not sure when, but their was a brawl between him and Michael Jordan, I know it was in a playoff series, someone could put that in--Gusiman 20:51, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

-- Michael Jordan -- The so-called Michael Jordan incident did not occur the same season as the NBA Finals appearance, as it was his last year away from the NBA during his first retirement.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Eatemup87 (talk • contribs) 12:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Psychological disorder with free throw shooting[edit]

The text below appeared in an older version of the article. I took it out as unreferenced controversial material.

I remember reading about Anderson's free throw shooting somewhere (in Sports Illustrated? ESPN the Magazine?) as part of a feature on sports psychology. If someone can find the reference, we can return this text to the article. A quote by Anderson or a psychologist describing the disorder would be valuable also.

Psychological disorder Anderson is well known for his role in sports psychology. After missing four pivotal free throws in the 1995 NBA Championships that led to the defeat of the Orlando Magic by the Houston Rockets, Anderson developed a psychological problem that greatly affected his free throw shooting. His free throw percentage dipped sharply and dropped to 40% at one point. He had developed a fear of shooting free throws as a result of his belief that his missed free throws in the NBA Finals caused the Magic to lose. This was an anomaly as he was considered to be a great shooter. After the help of sports psychologists, Anderson improved his free throw shooting but showed signs of his fear again during the last year of his NBA career.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Raddick (talk • contribs) 16:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

– Not primary topic; good but not historically great basketball player. I don't know if there is a primary topic so I am also proposing moving the dab page to be the primary. Natg 19 (talk) 06:10, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Basketball player retired for almost 20 years and still 2x more views at 140/day than the next highest, an active baseball player. Stay with status quo.—Bagumba (talk) 09:04, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:46, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination and Ortizesp. There are six names listed at the Nick Anderson (disambiguation) page, with no indication that the basketball player's renown is greater than the combined notability of the remaining five men. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 16:45, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support – "2x more views than the next highest" is certainly not a criterion for primarytopic. Dicklyon (talk) 05:07, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Support per argument above. 36.77.95.2 (talk) 11:51, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
