Hickey's one game stat line

[edit]

Although I generally trust the statistics supplied by basketball-reference.com, I have noticed an occasional discrepancy with other sources. In the case of Nat Hickey, I believe they have it wrong. Currently (as of December 5, 2009), basketball-reference.com shows Hickey's stat line as 0-3 from the field and one personal foul. No free throws, and no points:

  • "basketball-reference.com: Nat Hickey". Retrieved 2009-12-05.

This stat line runs counter to that supplied by the following two references:

which give his stat line as 0-6 from the field, 2-3 from the line, and five personal fouls. Furthermore, the following article from nba.com supports the data contained in the latter two sources:

As a result, I am updating the article to match the stats provided by The Official NBA Basketball Encyclopedia and I plan on contacting basketball-reference.com to have them correct an apparent mistake in their database. Myasuda (talk) 16:13, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, good catch. Yeah, we should go with the official NBA sources, unless the guy at basketball-reference knows more to the story. Zagalejo^^^ 00:17, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Just to close the loop on this, I received a response from basketball-reference.com and they went ahead and updated Nat Hickey's stat line to match the other sources. — Myasuda (talk) 14:08, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
