Data source: https://www.nba.com/stats Data totals checked with: https://www.nba.com/stats/alltime-leaders and http://www.espn.com/nba/history/leaders Tools: Python, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, https://github.com/swar/nba_api Code: https://gist.github.com/papertiger-stash/b3fb7127cbb8e457a85222ab25691a30 Notes: API hung, more reliable later at night. API double reports totals years a player was traded. Permalink 2
