MVP and DPOY[edit]

In the "Pistons Roadblock" section, it reads: "Jordan again led the league in scoring during the 1987–88 season, averaging 35.0 ppg on 53.5% shooting,[40] and he won his first league MVP Award. He was also named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year...". A seemingly important detail left out was that this was the first time a player won both MVP and DPOY in the same season in NBA history (and has only, as of 2022, been repeated twice). I don't have permissions to edit this page, but could this detail be added? https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/players-named-mvp-and-dpoy-in-same-season

Semi-protected edit request on 7 August 2023[edit]

In the section about Michael Jordan's sale of the Charlotte Hornets, the total amount sold for should be included of approximately 3 million dollars. Carch830 (talk) 15:53, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 12:48, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
While I just saw this comment, it turns out that I had added the amount here as part of an update, so I think we can call this resolved. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:16, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NBA record highest playoff PPG in a season.[edit]

Jordan holds the highest single season PPG in the playoffs (43.7). Shouldn't that part in his statistics be highlighted in purple as all NBA records are? Toebiscuit (talk) Toebiscuit (talk) 07:47, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There was no consensus for this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Basketball Association/Archive 22 § Playoff stats leaders for a given year. Seems like trivia that can be found in a database, versus something that is defining for a player.—Bagumba (talk) 04:54, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Still FA?[edit]

Many years have passed since Michael Jordan became a featured article. Do you think the article still meets the FA standards even after its promotion in 2007? ScarletViolet (talkcontribs) 12:14, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Refer to WP:FAR if you have concerns. —Bagumba (talk) 14:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If they do wish to refer to FAR, discussing here would be the first step anyways. ScarletViolet, do you have any specific concerns wrt the FA criteria? Nikkimaria (talk) 04:09, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Nikkimaria: The article's lead section contains too much citations in the lead (MOS:LEADCITE)... The citations too are not consistently formatted. ScarletViolet (talkcontribs) 00:32, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Having citations in the lead section is optional but is allowed. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:35, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
