NBA team histories edit
16 teams have team history articles (Template:NBA team histories). Is there a good reason why the other 14 teams do not have team history articles? Namely, Raptors, Bulls, Bucks, Hawks, Pistons, Magic, Wizards, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Jazz, Clippers, Suns, Kings, Spurs - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 02:46, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- Because no one has been passionate enough to create them haha? Rikster2 (talk) 14:58, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- And that passion often just leads to a bunch of WP:OR, cherry-picked fan memories, or mass duplication of what's in (or should already be in) individual team season articles, instead of basing the history on reliable sources that curate the franchise's highlights. —Bagumba (talk) 15:13, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- There is definitely enough rich history to carry articles for these teams, especially franchises like the Pistons, Hawks and Spurs. But these articles take a very long time to create well. And the person needs to be willing to do real research. Much faster to produce player/coach articles or lists. Rikster2 (talk) 15:42, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

There is a Franchise History Column on the page of all those teams. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goodboy70 (talk • contribs) 21:40, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Template:Kobe Bryant and LeBron James series edit
I might create the Michael Jordan series equivalent for Kobe and LBJ. Any reason why it would be deleted? - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 06:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- The main reason, even the Jordan one, they could be deleted is that they don't really refer to each other. The commonality is just the player, not that the subtopics are intertwined. Like a relative, a movie, a statue, and a restuarant have little to do with each other. Per the WP:SIDEBAR guideline:
This is more appropriate for very large topics like World War II. —Bagumba (talk) 07:30, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Navigation templates located in the top-right corner of articles (sometimes called a "sidebar" or "part of a series" template) should be treated with special attention, because they are so prominently displayed to readers. The collection of articles in a sidebar template should be fairly tightly related, and the template should meet most or all of the preceding guidelines. If the articles are not tightly related, a footer template or navbox, located at the bottom of the article, may be more appropriate.

PRODs of interest edit
Looking at CAT:PROD, there appear to be a few articles proposed for deletion on basketball teams that may be of interest:
Can anyone determine if these are notable? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:33, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
Steph Curry 6-6 on threes on April 9 edit
On April 9, Curry went 6–6 on threes (https://www.espn.com/nba/recap/_/gameId/401585783). I know that Jalen Brunson tied the NBA record this year with a 9-9, so it is not nearly an NBA record for single-game threes without a miss. However, Steph has never gone more than 4–4 without a miss before. I believe this might be a Warriors record (based on my cursory look at his game logs). Nonetheless, statmuse.com does not include the performance (https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/most-3-point-shots-made-without-a-miss-in-a-game-in-golden-state-history), but seems support 6–6 as a team record. I want to drop it in Stephen_Curry#Records as a shared record, but can't find any support for this.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:29, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
Tyus Jones edit
It seems that Tyus Jones has not only led the NBA in assists:turnover ratio for a sixth consecutive season, but also surpassed his previous the NBA single-season record for a second time (min 200 assists) 327/47 (6.95, 2018–19) 324/46 (7.04, 2021–22) to 485/66 (7.35, 2023–24). I don't seem to be able to find a WP:RS for this fact.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:50, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- This is the closest i've got with 2 games left.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:03, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Is this an WP:RS?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:09, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- this seems to be an RS for leadership, but does not mention the record.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:15, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Tyus’ season-best record needs to be updated on NBA records as well. - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 20:10, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
