rebounds and 3's

Something to look out for end of season, Love could join Dennis Rodman as only players to lead league in rebounds and attempt 100 3's NY times article Bagumba (talk) 04:23, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Love will definitely get over 100 three-point attempts, if he averages 20-15 and 40% from three it should be the first time ever in NBA history. GWST11 (talk) 05:25, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

International

the international basketball secction appears to be empty because the table is nested weird.TheHappiestCritic (talk) 23:57, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the table formatting. Its marked as empty because there is no text, I changed msg to expand instead of empty. Other option is to just move the medals to the general infobox, but still be good to get some prose here, as he started getting national attention during the Olympics.—Bagumba (talk) 01:20, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In the table on the right hand side of Kevin Love's page with his information regarding the cavaliers, his personal life, career information etc. There should be a marital status in the personal column, considering he is not married. Tnshaffer (talk) 17:36, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Marital status is not a parameter of the basketball player infobox. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 17:55, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Center position

Should Love have center listed as one of his positions in the infobox? There is a related discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Basketball_Association#Player_positions_(again). Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 01:46, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Change Kevin Love’s awards by adding that he recently became and is now second in Cleveland Cavaliers franchise history to make the most three point shots 2600:1009:B004:23C0:914B:2B2D:FE60:84AC (talk) 12:49, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. WikiVirusC^(talk) 13:33, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) It's easily sourced, but is a second-place franchise record a noteworthy accomplishment? It's definitely not something to add to an awards list, but I could maybe see including a line about it in the prose about the season. Reopening for other opinions since I'm not very well-versed in this area. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 13:38, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Prose would be sufficient. A ranking is neither an award nor an honor bestowed.—Bagumba (talk) 13:53, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. I'm closing this request while it's under discussion. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:52, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
