MichiganMamba nickname in lead

[edit]

The cited sources of its usage are from his team (DFenders) and league (D-League), which are not independent sources. LakersNation is debatable when it's a reliable source vs. a fan site. It would be one thing if #MichiganMamba was reported more widely in secondary sources to be a trending topic; otherwise it seems like Wikipedia is part of the marketing machine. I'm removing its mention from the lead as undue, but leaving its mention in the body.—Bagumba (talk) 23:38, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive detail

[edit]

This article is excessively long. I've done a once over on several sections to remove excessive details but it is still far, far too long. For comparisons sake, it has more bytes than nation-states such as Djibouti, Palau, Paraguay and NBA stars and fellow Michigan alumni like Chris Webber, Jalen Rose and Rudy Tomjanovich, all of whom are recognized as having far more impressive careers than perennial Harris.--TM 20:13, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Examples of information removed: summaries of individual NBA and D-League games, the depth chart on a team from which he was cut and other information you would find in a sports blog but certainly not in an encyclopedia.--TM 20:15, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
