Were there expansion drafts in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019? I can't find info on these. I'm seeing recently added red links to {{ NBA G League drafts}}. SportsGuy789 ( talk) 20:23, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not that I know of no, the recent one that comes to mind is the Charlotte Hornets.

- You're referring to the NBA I think. I'm talking about the G League.
-
Themanwithnowifi, can you please weigh in? You added the red links, I'm imagining you're the person with good references.

- [1], [2], [3], [4] Those are the ones who are still red. I made already two others. Themanwithnowifi ( talk) 04:44, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Why are we subjected to a certain country for one player, while there are other NBA players not displaying their home country wording? Why not use the universal word “Center” instead of possibly confusing people. ChillyWilly824 ( talk) 19:06, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- MOS:TIES is a site-wide guideline. It avoids re-inventing the wheel every time there is an English-variant dispute. Have you read it? — Bagumba ( talk) 12:30, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Also, for the record Basketball Canada uses the -re spelling here while TSN uses both on the same page -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:13, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
I understand consensus was to include the honor in the infobox... but a god damn navbox? Are we as a WikiProject really going to allow this TEMPLATECREEP? SportsGuy789 ( talk) 04:44, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Harder to argue against a template once an accolade is deemed worthy of an ibx entry. — Bagumba ( talk) 05:23, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
I was wondering if we should change the text in the "Nicknamed" box on Paul Georges page from PG-13 to PG-8 since his previous number, 13, is retired by the 76ers, and I was provided these two sources from a user that makes note of the PG-8 nickname. ReallyAmazingDude13 ( talk) 23:05, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- If you are referring to the lead,
MOS:BADNICK says:
Too early to consider it common. — Bagumba ( talk) 00:44, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Highlighting uncommon or disputed appellations in the lead section gives them undue weight, and may also be a more general neutrality problem if the phrase is laudatory or critical.
- @ Bagumba: So we should keep it as PG-13 until it becomes commonized? ReallyAmazingDude13 ( talk) 00:57, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
I happened to see that the Luka Dončić article now has Best NBA Player ESPY Award in his infobox.
Previously there was a big debate above on Conference Finals MVPs being listed on infoboxes to which there was no consensus, hence, this was removed from Luka's page.
But I just saw the ESPY Award on Luka's infobox and I want to get people's thoughts if this should be included in all NBA players' infoboxes should they have won/win? I personally oppose this as it's not even an official NBA award. Open to your thoughts. Nintendoswitchfan ( talk) 15:49, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Shawn Kemp has a second and fourth-team Parade All-American award listed in his infobox, the ESPY awards seem to be a bit more notable than those. Alvaldi ( talk) 19:25, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Consensus at
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Basketball Association/Archive 20 § ESPY Awards was to not include in the infobox.—
