--- Why are the Denver Nuggets listed under a defunct team when they are currently playing? Flcelloguy
--- Hi Not that is is that big of a deal the correct name of the Portland team is Trail Blazers ( 2 words) and the Seattle team spell their nickname SuperSonics
Also, the Miami franchise's name is properly rendered in all-caps, HEAT. I'm not sure how to change that table but hopefully someone will see this and fix it. ADDENDUM: What's the opinion on the New York franchise? Is not the "true" name of the team the Knickerbockers? Should the chart reflect this?
Could someone edit the article to explain how the playoffs work, i.e. how many games are in a series and so forth?
This article, like the previous anonymous poster mentioned, is very much missing info about the playoffs. Additionally, it could use information about individual seasons. To this end, I would propose that we set up seasonal information similar to how the National Hockey League article is becoming (e.g., 2003-04 NHL season). This is likely another one of those long-term projects, but does anyone else think this is a good idea? RADICALBENDER★ 16:13, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
Do we have permission to use the NBA logo? I think we shoul be particularly careful as sports organisations can be quite aggressive in defending their intellectual property rights. As its almost certainly a trade mark "fair use" arguments wouldn't seem to apply. Lisiate 03:00, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Translation request
Following Schreibwettbewerb on the german wikipedia, their article on NBA is quite much larger that this one. A german-speaking english wikipedian could translate their article. ✏ Sverdrup 18:38, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
i like the seasonal article idea, even though it will take a lot of effort. I've tried to address the lack of playoff and regular season information. Please try to improve it, since I did it rather hastily. And would a section on the offseason be a good addition? king 06:00, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Current Teams
The list of "current teams" deceptively gives the first year of a teams's present incarnation, i.e. the "New Orleans Hornets" are labelled 2002 while the Hornets franchise actually dates back to 1988. This would make sense only if there was a separate "Charlotte Hornets" article, which there isn't and I don't see a need for one.
I would suggest dropping the years altogther and reformatting this section to look like its MLB or NFL counterparts. --feitclub 17:29, May 8, 2005 (UTC)
I'm unsure why editors have changed my wording regarding the got milk? Rookie Challenge. That precise phraseology is (to my knowledge) the proper noun for the name of the event. "got milk?" should not be capitalized; it is a carefully branded effort by the International Dairy Foods Association. As anybody who has followed golf during the last decade knows, these corporate sponsorships, while annoying, DO become the proper name of the event, so to refer to the event as anything other than the got milk? Rookie Challenge, or the Sprite Rising Stars Slam Dunk, is inaccurate. --AppleFan84
I was wondering if most people consider the NBA to still have an image problem or not? Especially in light of the brawl last year involving Ron Artest. I know all professional sports have the bad apples, but I was under the impression that the NBA had more of a negative image then other organizations.

Lockout News
Reports say that the NBA and the Player's Union have agreed to a deal. What should this mean for the "Lockout" section of this article? Dknights411 06:31, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
