A wide wehoop_data tibble, one row per athlete-season-team, with the ESPN stat categories spread across prefixed columns:

athlete_id	character	ESPN athlete identifier (echoed input).
season	integer	Season year for the stat line.

Stat column names come from ESPN's positional names array per category, cleaned via janitor::make_clean_names(); the exact set varies by season.

A single tibble with one row per game. Column names reflect the stat labels returned by ESPN and will vary by season and player.

A single long-format tibble. When data are present, columns include at minimum category and split_name, plus per-stat columns driven by ESPN labels.

A single tibble. Per-event statistics.$ref URLs from the ESPN core-v2 API are returned as the character column statistics_ref and are NOT resolved. Similarly, event_ref, competition_ref, and team_ref are returned as character columns.

col_name	types	description
event_ref	character	Reference link to the originating event.
competition_ref	character	Competition ref.
team_ref	character	Team ref.
statistics_ref	character	Statistics ref.

A single tibble. When resolved, each row corresponds to one statistical entry in the core-v2 statistics log, with event_ref and statistics_ref character columns pointing to resolvable ESPN endpoints.

col_name	types	description
event_ref	character	Reference link to the originating event.
statistics_ref	character	Statistics ref.
