Overall: Looks good. My only suggestion would be that the hook might be better to specify that he's a basketball player, e.g. 'that the Korean War allowed Don Bragg to set a UCLA basketball record for most rebounds by a varsity freshman that stood for almost 40 years?' Thoughts? Also, the special occasion request is fine. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:24, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
