The company I work for, Good Data, makes business intelligence software that allows you to slice and dice large data sets and produce insightful reports. While testing it out, I decided to input the NBA’s stats that I found on a website. Unfortunately, the data don’t go down to the game level, but just have player stats aggregated by season, playoffs, all-star games, team stats, etc.

This is an interesting table below. It shows a list of all players who have averaged more than 30 points a game in the NBA’s history. I’ll probably be adding more tidbits like these in the days to come. If you want to see something, leave me a note in the comments and I’ll try to see if I can do it.
