Kevin Huerter's Wikipedia Gaffe
Kevin Huerter did it. He proved all of our teachers right. Wikipedia isn't the most accurate source of information. (Bet Basics is!)
Seriously though, if you checked Wikipedia on the night of December 15, 2022, you may have seen a surprise as red as Huerter's hair. In between his accolades, some fictitious records remained. A decade worth of First-Team All-NBA accolades to go with 10 years of NBA championships. Not bad for a guy who has never made an All-Star team.
Huerter, a first-ballot Hall of Famer overnight.
Of course, we know Huerter as a solid role player with an impressive shooting acumen. But until the Wikipedia mods fix the error, Huerter is a king.
In the meantime, Huerter will recover from an ankle injury and look to boost a Sacramento Kings team that, for at least a part of 2022, was in the thick of a playoff race. If his scoring ability can bring Sacramento to the next level, so be it. It'll be the first step in making that Wikipedia entry true.
Always check your sources, kids.
