Talk:D. J. Mbenga

message: According to the trivia section of this article, Mbenga "played three seasons in the Belgian League averaging 6.3 points and 4.1 rebounds." However, the table in the playing career section (originally from the French Wikipedia) states that he played for five seasons in Belgium. Which one is correct?

replies: text: Never mind, I just realized that the Antwerp Diamond Giants only counts as "National Junior Youth League", which would leave the other three as being in the Belgian League. Bash Kash (talk) 19:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Three seasons or five? 

message: This page should probably be at D.J. Mbenga, since this is the name he is mostly known by in English. What do other people think? Bash Kash (talk) 21:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 
The result of the proposal was Move - although I'm going to include a space between D. and J. as is usually the case.  —Wknight94 (talk) 23:45, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Can someone who can edit this page insert a section with the title "momentum", and then say that the Harker School in San Jose, California love him so much that the Physics Department of the Harker School named momentum after DJ Mbenga, It's unites were changed from {kg*m/s] to [Mb], for Mbenga.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kathir.sraj95 (talk • contribs) 19:41, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

*Oppose.  I do not think his full name is difficult to pronounce or type.  And if anyone would like to search for DJ Mbenga or D.J. Mbenga, they are free to do so and the redirect will bring them here.  I think it is fully appropriate that D.J. Mbenga is listed in the first line of the article.  --DerRichter (talk) 18:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: *I never said that it is difficult to pronounce or type, but I don't think it should be the title of the article. Is Allen Iverson at Allen Ezail Iverson? Michael Jordan at Michael Jeffrey Jordan? Typically we don't have titles for the full name of individuals unless they are most well-known in English by their full name. Bash Kash (talk) 18:55, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: *I must have misunderstood.  I thought that Ilunga Mbenga was two last names, as displayed on the NBA page which hyphenates the two. I change my vote to Support as long as there is a redirect created for Didier Ilunga Mbenga and the full name is mentioned and bolded in the first line of the article.  --DerRichter (talk) 19:37, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The Moniteur Belge of July 20 2004 (when Mbenga became Belgian) gives December 30th 1980 as the date of Birth of Mbenga.  --moyogo (talk) 14:13, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I think there is a problem with the PPG numbers ... too high, maybe? :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Salgado88 (talk • contribs) 20:07, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  PPG 

message: The last line in the article is "During his stay in Los Angeles, he has become a crowd favorite..."  I'd like to see some citations about this, as everyone I know at Staples Center and everyone I've seen who writes about the Lakers seem to be happy about his and Adam Morrison's impending departure.  Thanks.118.7.197.198 (talk) 09:07, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "...a crowd favorite..."  Really? 

message: The International Basketball Federation FIBA has ruled in June 2011 that Mbenga is "fully Belgian" as opposed to "naturalized", because he was a political refugee and only started his basketball training after moving to Belgium. This is important because of the "only one naturalized player in the national team" rule. see http://www.sporza.be/permalink/1.1042753 (in Dutch) 78.21.5.181 (talk) 20:10, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
