:::I'm not a fan of trying to avoid wrapping as everyone's device is different – phones, laptops, different browsers etc. I understand that the official team logo has "S.E. Melbourne Phoenix", but general driveby readers shouldn't have to look elsewhere to find out what "S.E." stands for. I have never seen "R.G. Valley Vipers" be used to avoid that name wrapping.

::::The page name should be used. Don’t want to see people following this example and starting to use “LA Lakers” and the like. [[User:Rikster2|Rikster2]] ([[User talk:Rikster2|talk]]) 15:54, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
::::Yep, that's fine. Will just use S.E. Melbourne for team pages and maps only on main pages. [[User:Alextigers|Alextigers]] ([[User talk:Alextigers|talk]]) 05:17, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

:[[College basketball in the Philippines]], while initially influenced by the Americans, is not a part of [[WP:CBBALL]], so it falls under this {[[WP:B-BALL]]) project. Philippine college basketball articles usually follow guidelines set by US projects, but some are adjusted to the Philippine experience. I'd suggest to keep off the Philippine college basketball articles for now, up until it is agreed that they are included in [[WP:CBBALL]].

::There may be confusion as the U.S. has the [[NCAA]], but the Philippines also has the similarly named [[NCAA (Philippines)]]. These are different organizations and act independently of each other. While the US NCAA can be said to be a governing body, the Philippine NCAA is more of like a "conference" in US sporting terminology, but with quite better powers than US conferences do.

== BIG 3 consistency? ==
Hello, I was looking through some articles specifically [[Gary Payton]], [[Allen Iverson]], [[Rashad McCants]], [[George Gervin]], [[Nick Young (basketball)]], etc.
Some have big 3 as part of their information, some as part of their infobox, some have none at all. I don't want to edit them just to start an edit war, but I do want consistency. What's the resolution on Big 3? Should it be present? Should it be in the infobox? Tell me so I know which pages should edit [[User:Remi1771|Remi1771]] ([[User talk:Remi1771|talk]]) 00:32, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
:Past discussions have said it shoudn't be in the infobox nor opening paragraph, and possibly not in the lead altogether ([[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Basketball/Archive 11#BIG3|1]] [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Basketball/Archive 13#BIG3|2]]) —[[User:Bagumba|Bagumba]] ([[User talk:Bagumba|talk]]) 14:33, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
== Brandon Johns, Jr. ==
Can anyone tell me if Brandon Johns had done anything that would rise to the level of an infobox highlight during his international play to date.-[[User:TonyTheTiger|TonyTheTiger]] <small>([[User talk:TonyTheTiger|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/TonyTheTiger|C]] / [[WP:FOUR]] / [[WP:CHICAGO]] / [[WP:WAWARD]])</small> 04:31, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
