# NBAGrapher

NBA Grapher is a python script that can make plots and graphs of NBA comparing various statistical measures of NBA players and teams

NBA Grapher uses [sportsreference](https://github.com/roclark/sportsreference) for scraping data from [basketball-reference](http://basketball-reference.com) and creates plots using [matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/)

Currently, four types of graphs are supported.

- Player stat by season
- Player stat by game
- Team stat by season
- Team stat by game

Details on each of these functions can be found in the full [documentation](https://nbagrapher.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

A full list of avaiable statistics for each function can be found [here](https://nbagrapher.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#list-of-available-stats).
