G League expansion drafts

[edit]

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)[reply]

Not that I know of no, the recent one that comes to mind is the Charlotte Hornets. ChillyWilly824 (talk) 19:07, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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. SportsGuy789 (talk) 02:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[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)[reply]

Center dispute

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]

Template:Los Angeles Lakers 2023 NBA Cup champions and Template:NBA Cup MVPs

[edit]

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)[reply]

Harder to argue against a template once an accolade is deemed worthy of an ibx entry. —Bagumba (talk) 05:23, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paul George Nickname

[edit]

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.

If you are referring to the lead, MOS:BADNICK says:

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.

Too early to consider it common. —Bagumba (talk) 00:44, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bagumba: So we should keep it as PG-13 until it becomes commonized? ReallyAmazingDude13 (talk) 00:57, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Best NBA Player ESPY Award Infobox Inclusion

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
Consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Basketball Association/Archive 20 § ESPY Awards was to not include in the infobox.—Bagumba (talk) 04:59, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got this.
Thank you. Nintendoswitchfan (talk) 17:01, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
