Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Phil Jackson Dynasty — Jackson played college basketball for the University of North Dakota for four years (1964–1967), not three.

Phil Jackson Dynasty — Jackson did play during the Knicks' 1970 championship season; he appeared in 18 playoff games that year, including the Finals, and his spinal fusion surgery occurred later in 1971.

Jordan Brand Identity — The statue of various Blackhawks players across the street on the site of Chicago Stadium does not exist.

The Last Dance Cultural Impact — The claim 'Over 500 hours of all-access footage was filmed and used to create the 10-part documentary series' is misleading because it implies all 500 hours were used, whereas only a portion was used.

Scottie Pippen Partnership — Pippen's jersey number 33 at Central Arkansas has not been retired; the university retired his number in January 2010, but it was not his college number (he wore #33 in the NBA, but at UCA he wore #24).

Scottie Pippen Partnership — The claim that Pippen was 'immediately traded' from the SuperSonics to the Bulls for Olden Polynice is slightly imprecise: the trade was agreed upon on draft night, but the actual transaction occurred after the draft, with the Bulls sending the rights to Olden

Chicago Stadium — The entry claims the Stadium hosted five United States presidential nominating conventions, including for Franklin D. Roosevelt and for his opponents in 1932 and 1944, but the phrasing is misleading; the 1932 and 1944 conventions that nominated Roosevelt were

Michael Jordan — The entry incorrectly states that Michael Jordan won a gold medal at the 1983 Pan American Games; he did not play in that tournament. As a player, he won gold at the 1984 and 1992 Olympics only, not four player gold medals.

House That Jordan Built — The NBA MVP trophy is not named in his honor; it is officially called the Maurice Podoloff Trophy, not the Michael Jordan Trophy.

House That Jordan Built — Jordan was not one of only eight players to achieve the basketball Triple Crown; more than eight players have accomplished this.
