Talk:New Zealand men's national basketball team

Steven Adams
No mention of him at all in the article? Surely he's the most notable Kiwi basketball player currently. Mirza Ahmed (talk) 07:32, 9 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Adams has never played for the Tall Blacks at Mens international level, so this would be a clear reason why he has no mention, as this is about the Team itself, not players that are from New Zealand. Should Adams decide to play for the Tall Blacks in 2024, then he would be added to the squad. PukeHoopster81 (talk) 23:12, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Adding historical details
I'm currently in the process of adding historical details of the Tall Blacks, via the NZNBL and FIBA websites through email communciation and real time stats. Previous un-named edits to the page look to line up with many of the FIBA stats. I've made a few grammar and spelling improvments where required. When I find all the correct details, which is a slow process, I'm looking to clean up the 2019 game stats, in terms of keeping the details, but condensing them down.

 * I've been supplied with details today suggesting historically the Tall Blacks first game is not in 1971. I'm just trying to sort out the reference material to get this correct on a factal stand point. PukeHoopster81 (talk) 22:36, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
