Did he actually graduate from Northeastern? The article does not say, and if he did, it also does not say what was his major at the university. Frankly, that's an important issue for those fans who think finishing college is just as important as basketball... Flybd5 ( talk) 03:31, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
He claims to be 5'10.5" - 5'11" in a recent interview by ESPN. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.55.87.158 ( talk) 20:37, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
He is actually 179 cm http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Jose-Juan-Barea-171/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.59.126.202 ( talk) 21:28, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
--Here is the link where he claims his real height-- http://www.mavs.com/videos/exit-interviews-jj-barea/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.59.124.44 ( talk) 18:34, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
Ok I am nominating this to WP:GAC again, it appears the main concerns in the last review has been taken care of, Chensiyuan helped me with the text cleanup and the unsourced image is gone. To the reviewer please note that this article is lacking an image because no public domain image has appeared so far, I have tried to find one and failed and a petition on the NBA WikiProject hasn't produced any results. - Caribbean~H.Q. 02:38, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Problems with the article

Ok, I passed this article. Blnguyen ( bananabucket) 04:47, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be 2001 to present? It says he turned pro in 2001. CollisionCourse ( talk) 01:25, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Ok, I reorganized the article cause I felt the previous order of having the career listed as BSN, NBA, and NBA Development League was problematic in terms of chronology (he went to the Development League in the middle of his first NBA season, so it made no sense to have it on another section AFTER the NBA bit). To kinda solve that, I integrated that part into the NBA section while dividing the info per seasons. That said, I'm not that fond of sub-headings and sub-sub-sub-headings so I don't know how well the article looks now. I also expanded the sections for each season, especially the current one where Barea has had a sorta breakthrough during the playoffs with all the notoriety of the Bynum incident and whatnot. Any recommendations and comments are welcome. Thief12 ( talk) 20:56, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

I think there ought to be an asterisk for his height listing. Wikipedia shouldn't repeat questionable information as fact, even if that is the official number. His own mother says that it's not true http://www.wfaa.com/sports/JJ-Bareas-family--123203878.html It's ok to go with the official listing, but people want to know the truth and they should be able to get it from their first investigation, which is usually Wikipedia. 72.83.70.240 ( talk) 03:55, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
In the end it says that Barea was the first puertorican to ever win an NBA ring, he might have been the first to play on a finals but Butch Lee in 1980 was awarded a ring as part of the team even if he was unable to play. 173.215.163.222 ( talk) 04:46, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
There is some controversy among writers of whether he is a Puerto Rican citizen or a US Citizen. It should be noted that a person born in Puerto Rico is as much a citizen of the United States as anyone born anywhere else in the US. It is a technicality, but I think an important distinction, given the fact that a person from Puerto Rico needs no passport to enter the rest of the US, and has the same benefits as other Americans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KingJames73 ( talk • contribs) 02:29, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
