[edit]I feel strongly that the intro doesn't do credit to Rick Barry's total game, and will try to improve the intro.

Picture
[edit]Perhaps a picture of him could be provided? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.151.119 (talk) 08:34, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Needs a lot of improvement
[edit]Rife with POV, this article looks like a long time fan wrote it. There is a tone to the entire article that tries to be sympathetic to Barry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by A fine point (talk • contribs) 05:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Washington Caps
[edit]The article presently states that Barry "missed the first 32 games before the ABA forced him to join the team." However, it then states that he appeared "in only 52 games due to a knee injury." Since the ABA season was 84 games long, one of these statements is obviously false. Does anyone know the truth? 209.90.140.72 (talk) 00:45, 19 August 2014 (UTC) I know that Barry suffered the knee injury early in the season in a game against the Carolina Cougars in Charlotte. I was not aware that he had missed games that year for any other reason. I know this because I live in Charlotte, and the injury was included in reports of the game the following day in the Charlotte Observer. I do not have access to microfilms of that paper, but somebody who does can confirm this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.59.214.20 (talk) 11:53, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Did Barry Lead the ABA In Scoring Or Not?
[edit]The lead states that his 34.0 average in 1968-69 was good for the top spot, but with only 35 games played, seems to me Barry was ineligible for the title, which is corroborated by the stat box and basketball-reference.com, neither of which list his totals as league-leading.
In my view, that should be excised from the lead; any thoughts? Hushpuckena (talk) 16:44, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
