There's very little you can learn about billybreen on wiki.
Manute Bol had a playing weight of just 220 lbs and he current lives in Olathe KS.
Both he and Gheorghe Muresan had pituitary disorders and average-sized parents.
Brian Davis' middle name is Keith.
Robert Horry was drafted after Christian, Adam Keefe, Todd Day. Walt Williams, and just before Malik Sealy (RIP), notable NBA bust Harold Miner, and Bryant Stith.
Maybe I live under a rock, but I had no idea Al Horford is Dominican.
Dell Curry and Scott Skiles were in the so-called "cursed draft" of 1986.
Adonal Foyle's last contract was 6Y for $42M!
Obinna Ekeize was in the trade that swapped, among others, Christian and Juwan Howard.
Serge Zwikker almost made the 1R of the NBA draft (30th, 1st pick of the 2R)
DeJuan Wheat is UL's 2nd all-time leading scorer but never played an NBA game.
Jamal Mashburn is one of only 6 NBA players to avg 20 ppg in his final season. (Jordan, West, Bird, and the untimely dead Petrovic and Lewis).
Bob Hurley (SR) won the 2007-08 HS championship at St Anthony's; that makes 23 for him as a head coach.

That could be remedied...
Not for long. I highly doubt I meet the interestingness bar for articles, so billybreen-related content would not last long.
Now, an article on DBR may be warranted given the size of the site. Then maybe we could slip in one line about me. Maybe something like: "DBR has a very active forum community. The user with the highest post count is some no-life tool named 'billybreen.'"

Be careful with wikipedia. It is great for the most part, but I've caught inaccuracies before. IIRC (will check), Manute Bol comes from a very tall line of people. His grandfather was one of the tallest men on Earth (7'11"), and I think both his parents were close to 7 feet. Like I said, I will check again, but I am pretty sure this is the case.
His maternal grandfather was 7'10". His mother was 6'10", his father 6'8". He has a younger sister who is 6'10".
Kind of a tall family.
Umm, I don't see any mention of this on Bol's wiki page. Muresan's page says that "unlike Bol, his great height is the result of a pituitary disorder".
FWIW, studies have shown that Wikipedia is quite accurate - one said that it was more so than Encyclopedia Brittanica.

I have studied this issue very carefully, and aside from the fact that I don't know what everybody is talking about, I remain non-committal on the whole issue.
