Uniform

Is it possible to make a more realistic jersey? It seems that basketball uniforms aren't even remotely close to the quality of football/soccer ones.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Uiscfd (talk • contribs) 18:32, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do the sources come from a diverse array of authors and publications?

Answer:

Article uses a total of 73 sources, with over half being from various sport groups. Also included are the New York Times, CIA, and various blogs. In terms of diversity, sources do appear to come from a large number of authors and publications and platforms. Only flag would be the articles and blogs with bias, and fact-checking may be needed. Various basketball governing bodies referenced for more information in regards to rules and history.

Please update the roster for the 2020 Summer Olympics

Today (June 23, 2021), the USA Basketball roster for the 2020 Summer Olympics was finalized. Could someone please edit the "current roster" section to reflect the changes? As a refresher, the "current roster" for that section reflects the 2019 FIBA World Cup Roster in China. Thanks again. Losipov (talk) 20:46, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-1936

Has a USA national team existed before 1936? Or did a team representing the USA played another country? Howard the Duck (talk) 21:53, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2022 =

One question.. Does the participation of Team USA count for the register of their FIBA Americas perfomances? I see the 2001 poor record does not count as they didn't send NBA players, so I want to know if this is the same way. 2803:9800:9020:806C:9570:623F:FF61:6284 (talk) 13:40, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Correcting the height of the players on the team's current roster

Please correct the height of the players in the team list for the 2024 Paris Olympics Navidbeh5674 (talk) 12:21, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a reliable source for the changes you are suggesting? —Bagumba (talk) 15:13, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the profile of LeBron James and Derrick White on the NBA website:

https://www.nba.com/player/1628401/derrick-white

https://www.nba.com/player/2544/lebron-james

The height of LeBron James should change from 2.03 cm to 2.06 cm

And Derrick White's height from 1.96 to 1.93 Navidbeh5674 (talk) 22:45, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
