NBA In-Season Tournament in Infobox

Saw some back-and-forth editing over this, is there a reason why this wouldn't be in the infobox? It's an official "big" thing now, I see no reason why it wouldn't be there. If there was already a discussion over this I'd appreciate if someone pointed me to it. ULPS ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:39, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It absolutely should be listed in his accolades section. They hung a banner for it. 2600:1700:23:B810:6DF2:AFD5:2FE5:3523 (talk) 23:04, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen a bunch of players missing accolades because they aren't real. Like jokic missing his western conference MVP. The in season tournament should not be put in lebrons list of accomplishments especially if anthony davis doesnt have it listed and other players are missing bigger awards.

The narrative of Lebron being compared to MJ as the GOAT is propaganda pushed by the media literally paid by his agency therebefore is invalid and should be removed to stop spreading lies. Doplarn (talk) 19:04, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made.

If reliable sources confirm this claim it can certainly be added, but the existing comparisons should not be removed per WP:BALANCE. Jamedeus (talk) 19:44, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update page to include Scandals as new information was released of possible ties to Biogenesis Doping scandal via his business partner Ernest "Randy" Mims <ref>https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/38089564/tony-bosch-biogenesis-treated-wwe-star-big-show-boxer-shannon-briggs-others<ref> and Wife's business partner and former trainer David Alexander. <ref>https://deadspin.com/lebron-jameds-wife-biogenesis-anthony-bosch-1850834572,<ref> As well as vocal accusations from Kevin Garnet <ref>https://www.marca.com/en/basketball/nba/los-angeles-lakers/2024/03/10/65ee02d3ca4741b25e8b458c.html<ref> as well as Chael Sonnen<ref>https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/content/2024-03-07-balco-founder-says-theres-reason-to-be-supiscious-on-lebron-using-peds/#:~:text=Federal%20documents%20from%202013%20that,received%20illegal%20performance%2Denhancing%20drugs.<ref> 72.48.126.230 (talk) 15:50, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Have you read these sources? The ESPN article says "There was never any indication that LeBron James did anything wrong," the lead DEA investigator said. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:54, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, which is possible ties. The fact that he is being mentioned is a flag as more people are expressing the fact in recent days and he is mentioned through multiple articles. 72.48.126.230 (talk) 17:32, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the fact that prominent sport athletes as Chael Sonnen and Kevin Garnet are saying these things makes it a scandal. At the very least include that. 72.48.126.230 (talk) 17:36, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Considering that this is a WP:BLP and we have strict rules around this "guilt by association" stuff, I oppose the addition. Adding this would require a WP:CONSENSUS among the community. Get one first, then it will be added. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:42, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
