  • (dropping in to comment) The full context in the source supports the claim: The pressure has been too much for David Webber at times. There were days the younger brother of NBA All-Star Chris Webber didn’t even want to live. “I can remember being in my house after another bad game during my junior year in high school, when I told God not to wake me up in the morning,” David said. “I was praying all night, for hours, saying, ‘God, please don’t wake me up.’ “I felt a lot of pressure and I didn’t feel like I could take it anymore.”
Also suggesting ALT1a, informative but a bit unwieldy: that Basketball Hall of Famer Chris Webber's brother David broke Hall of Famer Larry Bird's single-game scoring record on his college's home court? Hameltion (talk | contribs) 00:06, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking issues:

  • I think the suicide sentence is in the wrong section? It's currently under "College career" but the source quotes him as saying, "I can remember being in my house after another bad game during my junior year in high school..." (emphasis mine), so shouldn't it be in the "Early life" section? (2 other editors have already OK'd the sentence so I'm fine with it, but I personally would've preferred to just quote him or the source instead of applying the "suicide" label ourselves).
  • The infobox says he went undrafted in 2002, but that's not mentioned in the "Professional career" section.
  • "Webber attended the October 2002 Sacramento Kings training camp when his brother played for the team" - which brother?

Not blocking issues:

And I did a light copyedit, let me know if you have any issues with that. Legoktm (talk) 07:41, 28 July 2023 (UTC)User talk:Surtsicna[reply]
