About

This is my first time writing a PyPi package, and I'm glad I decided to do this because it makes the process of adjusting player's stats that I've worked on for years a lot easier and faster. The stats required for this scraper only go back to the 1996-97 season, which would not have been the case if I had used basketball-reference. However, I couldn't find a way to access playoff stats on bball-ref, so I'm hoping to find a way to access these stats and update this scraper to allow for searches before the '97 season.

I borrowed the implementation for lookup.py and the names of all NBA players up to the 2020-21 season in names.txt from Vishaal Agartha.
