Usage[change source]
First parameter is the player's name as it appears in the NBA.com url, e.g. lebron_james in http://www.nba.com/playerfile/lebron_james/.
Second parameter is the player's name as it should appear in the visible text of the link, e.g. "LeBron James".
Both parameters default to the article title. Additionally the first one is converted to lowercase and spaces are changed to underscores for use in the url.
If the player's name is unambiguous and contains no diacritics, no parameters need to be entered.
