Stats obsession has been the provenance of baseball’s sabermetricians for the last several decades. But if your data-crunching heart belongs to basketball, you’ve finally got a datum-filled palace to call home. Meet NBA Stats. It’s… comprehensive.
A joint effort between the NBA and SAP, NBA Stats will include box scores from every game ever, shooting charts, individual player pages, and all kinds of visualisations and fun facts. Sure, ABA fans are left out in the cold, and yes, no amount of Wes Unseld nostalgia will make the Wizards good this year. But if you love numbers and sports and think Clutch is a valid statistical category, there are far worse ways to spend your afternoon. [NBA Stats]
