nba_stats

This is part of my info viz project at Aalto University. I extract nba team stats from ESPN website (http://espn.go.com/nba/teams).

The goal of this project is to discover the most possible secret sauce of nba champs by analysing champ team's stats each year from 1991 (chicago-bulls) to 2015 (golden-state-warriors).

I use the following python package:

• pandas
• numpy
• matplotlib (for general plotting purpose)
• seaborn (color schemes they offer looks nicer for me)
• BeautifulSoup (for parsing websites)

The Results

Task i.a: Revealing distinct champion models in high-dimensional space

Task i.B: Revealing distinct champion models in LOW Dimensional Space

Task ii: exploring key champion models with factor analysis

Task iii: observing how champions’ characteristics have changed over years
