Players who didn't play for champion teams
Say a player is in the active roster for a team, suited up every game but never played a single game for some reason (most likely coach's decision), then that team won the title. That player got included in the awarding ceremony and got his own ring or something. My question is, do we add that achievement to that player's infobox highlights? I cannot find a case in the NBA where a player didn't play any game, but is in the active roster, both in the regular season and playoff for a champion team.

- If a player did not play a game for a team, his supposed team won't even be listed in the infobox; so to answer your question, no. Howard the Duck (talk) 17:40, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Unless he was injured for the season. Joel Embiid is listed as a player for the 76ers from 2014 despite not playing any games during the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. Alvaldi (talk) 18:15, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Apparently this was discussed before. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Basketball Association/Archive 34#Playing tenures, with the Embiid example. Howard the Duck (talk) 20:09, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

- See WP:NBARING. WP:NBA only lists if player was on playoff roster, regardless if they played or not. —Bagumba (talk) 20:06, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
why is the answer to this important if it has never occurred before? Rikster2 (talk) 20:55, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- It might not be in the NBA, but it has in the PBA, considering that tournaments are very short. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 21:04, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

The article Carrying (basketball) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Carrying is colloquial but I have not come across a rule book or ruleset that lists carry(ing) as a violation. From what I've come across, the rulesets define the carry as the hand dropping below the basketball, but it only serves to stop a live dribble. If a player dribbles again after stopping his dribble, whether or not a carry is used to stop the dribble, a double dribble violation is called. If a player lifts his pivot foot after stopping his dribble and places it back down without shooting or passing the ball, whether or not a carry is used to stop the dribble, a traveling violation is called. Suffice it to say there is no carry violation in the rule book.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. jlwoodwa (talk) 19:39, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think this is a good prod candidate. It needs more eyes on it. There is some legitimate confusion over what constitutes "carrying," but the term commonly appears in basketball discourse (for example, [1]). Zagalejo (talk) 23:08, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Isn't "carrying" another form of traveling (basketball)? As WP:ATD, it should be redirected instead to that article. Howard the Duck (talk) 00:00, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- There are separate hand signals for traveling and carrying (see page 63 of FIBA's rules). Zagalejo (talk) 04:27, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ooooh so these are different violations, at least FIBA-wise, right? Howard the Duck (talk) 20:32, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
