replies: text: Is basketball played outside the NBA?  Are any of the examples used from WNBA, or from basketball leagues outside the USA?  Please consider using additional examples from outside the NBA - the article is Basketball position, not NBA position. --AJTH (talk) 09:45, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

message: In the power forward and center chapter it would be correct to add that they are both referred to as "bigs" or "big men".

message: since each of the 5 positions are already linking to their own complete article, could we not argue  that this page can be considered complete at the end of the first main section before the beginning of the section titled "Guard"?
all the sections starting with "Guard" and going down through "Center" have an overuse of commas and ALOT of redundant grammar usage. Many sentences contain extra words and questionable word placement. I am doing my best to remedy this, but i just noticed that each of these sections already has a complete page dedicated to it. it could be due to the authors apparent fondness for redundancy. id rather not go through them all doing my best to make them read better just to have them erased. however, im going to finish attempting to fix them and still recommend the be reviewed for possible deletion due to them obvious being redundant since there are already more well written pages for each of the subsequent sections linked toward the end of the 1st section. i hope this makes sense. im trying to help.

message: There is a sentence in this section that makes no sense. It says something like a small forward position player has to be a more of a shooting guard than a small forward. So the position of a small forward is to play more shooting guard than small forward? what? Also, there should be sections on guards, forwards and centers in general as well as a link to swingman somewhere in the page. Non-traditional position should be showcased and a link to offensive and defensive schemes (as they relate directly to the positions) should also be included. For a page that has been reviewed so many times, the current state is terrible. 2601:182:C80:3E10:6F10:B3FA:123B:CD78 (talk) 22:26, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
