Removed trivia section[edit]

I removed a trivia section with these items:

Griffith has regarded Cheryl Miller as her basketball role model.
During her college years, she supported herself and her daughter by getting a nighttime job hotwiring cars for an auto-repossession firm.
Her daughter, Candace Griffith, briefly played basketball on the girls' team at McClatchy High School in Sacramento, California.
Would like to get into law enforcement when her basketball career is over.
Also earned First-Team All- American honors in softball as a senior.
Favorite music is R&B.
Likes to read and spend time with her daughter in her spare time.

Trivia sections are strongly discouraged. In some cases, material in trivia sections belongs in the main article. I don't see any item here (with possible exception of softball honors) which belongs in an encyclopedia bio. If anyone disagrees, wants to work the item into the main article and can find appropriate references, go for it.--SPhilbrick T 17:28, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Claim in the lead not backed up by sources[edit]

There is a claim in the lead that states she is considered one of the greatest rebounders and defensive players in the history of Women's Basketball. The only source in the article stating so comes from a qoute from the coach who had just signed her. I was unable to find any other reliable and independent sources that confirm that claim so I took it out only for it to be reverted by an ip user. Has anyone here seen a source that can be used to back up this claim or is it unfounded? Alvaldi (talk) 11:16, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
