There is no evidence that Jerry West is in that picture. It doesn't even look like him. Big mistake on the photo. The source is incorrectly captioned, I edited the page and I think it is best to contact Lacey Atkins regarding the incorrect caption.

[edit]Source on the three-peat royalties?
he does look like a goodfella - anon. --71.143.21.7 02:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Is it too much to ask for the number of Riley's wins? And "winningest" isn't a word except in a sportscast. Trekphiler 21:49, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
No, winningest is a word. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/winningest --74.129.250.67 20:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm the one who added the sentence about his hair. -Amit --67.22.216.150 06:02, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
You can see how many games he has won here, though the number will change as season progresses.
I have a question too, was he born in Rome, New York? Other sources say he was born in Schenectady, New York. -222.4.16.15 08:44, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
He was born in Rome, New York. I'm his son, so I'm not going to edit the page as that's against Wikipedia policy. Born in Rome, New York, raised in Schenectady, New York. Thalagyrt 19:57, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Regarding my two recent edits: Sigma Nu and Height
[edit]Height's obvious...
Sigma Nu - he pledged during his freshman year, however he never actually joined. The frat was shut down that year on that campus due to an incident with them all pouring horse manure on a group of sorority girls. It wasn't until he became famous that they decided to make him a "member," however he isn't an actual brother and never joined. They use his name as advertisement, he's even listed in the book of all brothers despite not being one, and they send us mail regularly asking for donations, but he's by no means a member of the frat by choice, so I removed that bit of trivia. 76.109.244.184 (talk) 02:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
June 6th/20th
[edit]"As reported by many players of the Miami Heat after they won the 2006 NBA Finals, Riley told the team on June 8 (the day of the first Finals game against the Dallas Mavericks) that they would win the championship on June 20. This prediction ended up coming true after the team took the series in 6 games on the 20th."
He actually did say that to the team. He also packed only one suit for the last trip to Dallas. Also I don't know where people get the golf idea, that's something he doesn't do.

Knicks/Rangers
[edit]I try to make clear that when the Knicks lost in the NBA Finals in 1994, it denied New York from having both NBA and NHL championships in the same year, as the New York Rangers had won Game 7 of their finals. Please do not remove that info, as that win happened during the NBA Finals. -- SNIyer12, (talk), 14:24, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

The "Head coaching record" Table needs at least two corrections
[edit]The first error depends on the conventions used in tabulated sports records which I don't know. Nevertheless, Column 6 is labeled "W-L%" but the entries are all in decimal fractions. A (Wins)/(Total Games) ratio of .704 is 70.4% (a 70.4 winning percentage). Just change the label of Column 6 or change all of the entries from decimal fractions to their percentage equivalents.
The second error is in the entry on Line 11. It currently says: New York 1991–92 82 51 31 .797 1st in Atlantic ... Games coached = 82. Wins = 51. Losses = 31. W percentage = .797 (0.797) x 82 games works out to 65 wins and 17 losses. OR 51 Wins / 82 games works out to a .622 W percentage. Either the 51 - 31 record is wrong or the calculation is wrong. I do not know which statistical data is correct. What were the Knicks actual W-L stats for 1991-1992? AdderUser (talk) 08:11, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- AdderUser: I fixed the 51–31 winning %, and also added a citiation for verifiability. Using decimals is the convention in North America (see Winning percentage). Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 08:36, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Is that actually Jerry West next to Magic Johnson & Pat Riley?
[edit]There is no evidence that Jerry West is in that picture. It doesn't even look like him. Big mistake on the photo. The source is incorrectly captioned, I edited the page and I think it is best to contact Lacey Atkins regarding the incorrect caption. 86.29.163.84 (talk) 02:38, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
