2007 Game Coaches?

edit

Does anyone know who coached the game in 2007 for each side? All websites I have found name the coaches as "TBA" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gpasqualicchio (talkcontribs) 00:26, 15 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Del Harris and Tom Thibadoau, I think. Basketball110 vandalise me 15:16, 16 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
The head coaches at least should be the lead assistants for the All-Star game coaches. Can't actually find who it was listed anywhere. I just added the 2008 coaches though. Novastarj (talk) 23:32, 16 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Rosters

edit

Should the rosters section be split into another page? Basketball110 vandalise me 15:16, 16 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think maybe we should put the rosters and coaches by year on another page with an all-time list of participants by team on the main page as well as records. I will take care of all of this if someone wants to create the new page for past years rosters and coaches. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gpasqualicchio (talkcontribs) 15:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

About Finished

edit

I have put on this page just about every bit of information possible about this game. The last few things to possibly do:

  • Find those 2007 assistant and head coaches
  • Break down the year-by-year rosters/coaches into a separate page
  • Expand on the opening paragraph with more about the game.

I'm leaving this in your guys' hands. Good luck

Page moved to NBA All-Star Weekend Rising Stars Challenge. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:54, 24 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

NBA All-Star Weekend Rookie ChallengeRising Stars ChallengeRelisted.Favonian (talk) 23:48, 16 February 2012 (UTC) Reflect new rebranded name of event, supported in news sources by WP:COMMONNAME. 251 ghits for "Rising Stars Challenge" vs 38 for "Rookie Challenge". Sponsorships are transient, and not commonly used in sources, so no need to prefix with current sponsor, BBVA. Also, not using prefix of "NBA All-Star Weekend" from previous name, again per WP:COMMONNAME; the opening sentence in the lead explains it is part of NBA All-Star Weekend. There are no other "Rising Stars Challenge"s out there to disambiguate that would require the prefix.—Bagumba (talk) 07:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

The result of the move request was: pages moved per WP:PRECISION -- JHunterJ (talk) 17:32, 14 April 2012 (UTC)Reply


– Per an earlier discussion, the "NBA All-Star Weekend" prefix was originally added to the article names for disambiguation. However, Rising Stars Challenge currently redirects to NBA All-Star Weekend Rising Stars Challenge, as does Slam Dunk Contest to NBA All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest, and Three-Point Shootout to NBA All-Star Weekend Three-Point Shootout. Moreover, the NBA event is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for each name, respectively, based on usage in sources. The prefix should be removed per WP:PRECISE. —Bagumba (talk) 23:32, 28 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Rising Star Award?

edit

On some player infoboxes, there is an "NBA Rising Star" award under "Career Awards and Achievements". Why isn't this on all players who have participated in this event? --76.116.170.226 (talk) 14:03, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

States for American players

edit

State flags were added for the American players of the 2015 game with this edit. The U.S. state is irrelevant when the game is US vs World. It's WP:UNDUE, as sources generally don't (if at all) present the US roster based on US states, and WP:OR is used to choose birth state vs home state vs current state of residence. It should be removed.—Bagumba (talk) 10:18, 2 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
