Bryant NBA Wikiproject[edit]

@Bagumba: Bryant was recognized by her supporters for challenging the National Basketball Association culture of tolerance of tomcatting. It was my view that this makes her relevant to the NBA Wikiproject. An aim of that project is to "Create and improve articles whose content is connected to the National Basketball Association organization." I'm curious of your thoughts. TJMSmith (talk) 14:19, 3 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I originally thought it was added due to her relationship with an NBA player. I am not too familiar with her cultural impact on the league. Unfortunately, the cited source doesn't provide more depth either. If you still feel strongly about her relevance to the project, feel free to get others' opinions at WT:NBA.
