[edit] Gone Fishin'

We should make an effort to include this fun, lighthearted part in this article. After all, the phrase, "Gone fishin'" has come to equate "been eliminated" these days. Anthony Johnson just used in the press conference after his Pacers bowed out to the Nets.

[edit] American Idol

To 68.88.252.11: American Idol has nothing to do with the NBA on TNT, as regular season games do not go up head to head against it, and the popularity of the show has nothing to do with the popularity of the NBA or its playoffs or any sport, for that matter (as reality television and sports continue to occupy different parts of American media attention, attracting polar opposite demographics). While a comparison between the 2006 NBA All Star Game and Desperate Housewives is applicable (because they went head to head on the same night in the same timeslot), the Idol comparison is much less apt. A better comparison would be to other sports, or the playoffs of other sports. Paulsen 15:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Oldnbaontntlogo.jpg

Image:Oldnbaontntlogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
