While I am sure all these venues have deep ties to the game and would love to be titled the "Mecca of Basketball" I think it would be appropriate to delete this DAB. None of the linked articles even mention the nickname "Mecca of basketball." Classicwiki (talk) (ping me please) 19:46, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
- MSG is probably the most known as the Mecca, and Rupp Arena is not even mentioned on this list. Classicwiki (talk) (ping me please) 19:48, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

- Delete as this dab page is merely a point of view, not encyclopedic. Ajf773 (talk) 02:11, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Definitely subjective opinion, as any building can easily qualify such under the title (the MassMutual Center could claim it easily as being in the city where the sport originated, for instance). On another note, I'm surprised that the MECCA Arena isn't here. Nate • (chatter) 02:13, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
- Delete appears to be original research; even if references exist the page is problematic. Power~enwiki (talk) 04:33, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
