This guide aims to promote professionalism, simplicity and cohesion in National Basketball Association-related Wikipedia articles. An overriding principle is that style and formatting should be applied consistently throughout articles.

This should follow Wikipedia's naming convention guideline.
For living players, the lead image in the infobox is generally the most recent available image for the player. For deceased players, a representative photo from their career is preferred. [1]
Images must meet Wikipedia's policy on copyrights and licensing, which generally must be a free image (like some from Flickr). Therefore, Wikipedia may not always have an image of a player with their most recent team. You can refer to Wikipedia:Files for upload if you need further assistance on uploading an image for use. Also consider requesting permission from a non-free resource.
In an infobox, a player's position(s) is generally listed based on the listings at NBA.com and basketball-reference.com. For example, if a player is listed as F on NBA.com and PF-C on basketball-reference.com, list Power forward / center in the infobox. [2]
Listing specific positions for a player is preferred over using generic positions e.g. use Point guard instead of Guard. A player that plays both guard positions should be listed as " Point guard / shooting guard" (order may be changed) instead of a generic " Guard". Similarly, a player who plays both Forward positions should be listed as " Power forward / small forward". For players that play three or more positions, a generic position is generally used to limit the display to two positions. For example, a player like Giannis Antetokounmpo who played point guard, shooting guard, and small forward, was at one point listed as " Guard / small forward". [3]
Do not use original research to list a more specific position; the generic position is acceptable if that is all that is verifiable. [3]
In an infobox, an NBA player's height and weight should use the listed value at their NBA.com profile. In the event that there is consensus to explain any discrepancies, a footnote can be placed next to their listed measurements in the infobox. [4] [5]
A player's measurements are generally not considered notable to include in the text of the lead. Exceptions may include players that are exceptionally short (under six feet) or tall (7-footers). A player's weight is generally not notable for the lead. However, height and weight is suitable for a "Player profile" section, if one already exists. [6]
In an infobox, list any team for which the subject played at least one regular season game. [7] The starting year should be the starting contract year with the team. Similarly, the ending year is the ending contract year. [8] Summer league stints are not listed. [9]
While multiple stints with the same team should be listed with separate entries, do not re-link the same team multiple times. [10]
Consensus is to not list Big3 stints. [11]
The "highlights" field of {{ Infobox basketball biography}} should include notable highlights and awards that the person has won. This is not necessarily an exhaustive list. MOS:INFOBOX advises that "the purpose of an infobox: to summarize key facts in the article in which it appears. The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance." A good rule of thumb is to only list awards that would be expected to be mentioned in the lead if it were a featured article. Other awards less notable to the biography should instead be mentioned in the body of the article.
The general format of the highlights are:
* #× [[Award 1]] ([[season|year]], [[season|year]])
* #× [[Award 2]] ([[season|year]], [[season|year]])
medal_templates
and not under highlights
in {{
Infobox basketball biography}}.
[15]Highlights generally fall into two groups: those earned in a given year, and those related to multiple years or a career (e.g. NBA 35th Anniversary Team and retired numbers). Annual highlights are generally listed before career highlights.
The highlights for players are generally listed according to the order listed in the following table: [16] [17]

A player is listed as an NBA champion if they were on a championship team's playoff roster. Merely receiving a championship ring is not sufficient, as is the case with some players who left the team midseason but were later rewarded with a ring. [20]
Some items for which there has been consensus to exclude from the infobox include:
Professional highlights are listed first, followed by college and then high school highlights. Similar to the professional highlights, annual honors are listed before career honors e.g. retired numbers.
Players with 5+ professional highlights should limit college highlights to NCAA championships, awards at Template:Men's college basketball award navbox, NCAA Tournament MOPs, and retired numbers; high school highlights should be restricted to major national player of the year awards and State Mr. Basketball awards e.g. Minnesota Mr. Basketball. [26]
For players earning multiple
national player of the year awards in college, entries may be consolidated, especially when there are 5+ professional highlights listed:

Similarly, multiple

Do not duplicate hall of fames which already have existing infobox parameters, e.g. |HOF_player=
for the
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Other regional hall of fames, e.g. school (
University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame), state (
Kansas Sports Hall of Fame), etc., can be mentioned in prose.
[29]
Every NBA player's article should have a section displaying the statistics a player recorded during his career in a tabular format. Articles may also include subsection listing here for college statistics, [30] but not for high school. [31]
The section contains two tables: one for the regular season, and the other for the postseason. The following are specific features that the tables should have:
== Career statistics ==
in a subsection titled "NBA" e.g. === NBA ===

In addition to complying with the other policies and guidelines of Wikipedia, NBA lists should have the following attributes:
The National Basketball Association's Sixth Man of the Year Award is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given since the 1982–83 NBA season to the league's most valuable player for his team coming off the bench as a substitute (or sixth man).

A player is listed as an NBA champion if they were on a championship team's playoff roster. Merely receiving a championship ring is not sufficient, as is the case with some players who left the team midseason but were later rewarded with a ring. [20]
Some items for which there has been consensus to exclude from the infobox include:
Professional highlights are listed first, followed by college and then high school highlights. Similar to the professional highlights, annual honors are listed before career honors e.g. retired numbers.
Players with 5+ professional highlights should limit college highlights to NCAA championships, awards at Template:Men's college basketball award navbox, NCAA Tournament MOPs, and retired numbers; high school highlights should be restricted to major national player of the year awards and State Mr. Basketball awards e.g. Minnesota Mr. Basketball. [26]
For players earning multiple
national player of the year awards in college, entries may be consolidated, especially when there are 5+ professional highlights listed:

Every NBA player's article should have a section displaying the statistics a player recorded during his career in a tabular format. Articles may also include subsection listing here for college statistics, [30] but not for high school. [31]
The section contains two tables: one for the regular season, and the other for the postseason. The following are specific features that the tables should have:

In addition to complying with the other policies and guidelines of Wikipedia, NBA lists should have the following attributes:
