basketballstatsR

An R Package For Gathering and Visualizing NBA Data

Installation

You can install basketballstatsR from github as follows:

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("emilykuehler/basketballstatsR")

Functionality

This package is in development, but current functionality supports a variety of data gathering operations for NBA data. Currently, I am scraping from basketball-reference.com however, sites such as NBA.com also have interesting data so will expand there soon.
