Expansion needed

The Italian WP has its own category for these cases, which could help us address the list's current clear bias towards players based in the US, missing even extremely notable players such as Alexander Belov, Radivoj Korać and former NBA player Alphonso Ford.

Oh, and this is what the "old" list looked like before it was made a meta-list. I don't think all the basketball players listed there were notable, but the majority of them probably were. Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 22:52, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
