I disagree. IMO this is a serious issue.
One issue is what Boris Badenov already talked about. This is thoughtless use of data without context.
Another is that they often recycle stuff posted on reddit or elsewhere from fans without giving credit to the people who originally posted them. A good number of the tweets and fan facts you see from 'reputable' sources is the uncredited work of other ppl.
The third is that they 'adapt' the data to fit a narrative. A recent example: there are five players who averaged 20ppg or more in every season they played in the NBA: MJ, LBJ, KD, Melo and Bob Petitt. This was posted a couple of days ago by /u/Morezingis on reddit.
Shortly afterwards, this made its way to "Basketball Forever". Petitt however was omitted. They wrote instead "since 1965" (the year of Petitt's retirement).
This post was in its turn recycled by BR which did not even bother to write "since 1965" they just put an asterisk.
