Talk:Puerto Rico men's national basketball team

Tournament info
I edited the tournaments things and added some that were missing. I'm planing to work a little more on this. I'm missing info on the Pan American Games and have no info on the Central American games. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Concienciapr (talk • contribs) 01:05, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Some of the info came from that site. I'm also working on getting a lot of information on the 1979 Pan American games. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Concienciapr (talk • contribs) 04:54, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


 * One problem I see with the article is the fact that it only covers the male version of the team and based on the article's title it should cover a bigger scope, it should contain information about the female and minor versions of the team, that way with the info available we could create a FA caliber article and rename to National basketball program of Puerto Rico.-  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H.

^^Is there any way of finding info about the Central American and Caribbean Games? I know the team won the Gold medal in 2006... --BoricuaPR (talk) 03:10, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Unamed anon thread
TO WHOEVER SAID THE PUERTO RICO UNIFORM OF THE 80'S WAS FASHIONED AFTER THE LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS UNIFORM, I REMIND YOU THAT THE TYPICAL PUERTO RICO UNIFORM EXISTED YEARS BEFORE THE LA CLIPPERS FRANCHISE BEGUN (1984). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.174.235.22 (talk • contribs)

Capitalized title
Shouldn't this article's title be capitalized? Thief12 (talk) 18:11, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

FIBA Americas, Central American and More...
I have updated as much info as I could for the moment. I also have a couple of questions.


 * Both at the FIBA´s and the FIBA Americas´ pages state that Puerto Rico won gold in the 1988 FIBA Americas tournament, while Brasil won silver. I have changed the info as such, but in the Brazil Basketball Federation page, there states that Brazil won gold and Puerto Rico silver. I have no idea how to verify this information. In the wikipage for other languages, appears Brazil with gold and Puerto Rico with Silver. Again, I made the changes based on the official data at FIBA´s.


 * I have found a source for the Central American Games. I have no idea if it is reliable or not. The link is in the article. Puerto Rico data is missing for 1938, 1946, 1950 and 1998. I also found some data that questions me. There it says that Puerto Rico won silver at the 1986 games, while I thought it had won gold.


 * I agree that the title of the article should be changed to "Puerto Rico Men´s National Basketball Team ". There should be independent pages for the women´s and the junior´s. The women have no Olympics or World tournaments, but plenty of FIBA Americans and Central tournaments. The junior´s have plenty of everything. This page would have too much data if both are included here.

Puerto Rico men´s national basketball team
I went ahead and created the page Puerto Rico men´s national basketball team, since the information provided in this one is only for the men´s team, and it doesn´t include neither the women´s nor the junior´s teams.

 * I moved the history here. However, if the several result and medal tables are collapsed in templates, I think that we can easily include the women's and minor teams as well. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  15:36, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Medal Count at FIBA Americas
Both at the official FIBA's and the FIBA Americas' webpages state that Puerto Rico won gold in the 1988 FIBA Americas tournament, while Brazil won silver. I have changed the info as such. Here is the reference .--Coquidragon (talk) 23:26, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * A discussion relevant to this page is taking place at the Talk:FIBA Americas Championship page.--Coquidragon (talk) 00:34, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Extra info
We should add a Depth Chart of the team like most other national basketball team articles have. Also the teams they're currently playing for. Maybe the different squads, like the ones that were used the last two times/tournaments? --BoriPR (talk) 04:37, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Most play in other leagues plus the local BSN.
Please update their current teams, almost all are playing BSN 2605:BA00:8108:4EB:B8D4:1C4D:E6A2:179B (talk) 20:22, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
