The average viewership of National Basketball Association (NBA) have reached an record of 20.2 million viewers, the highest ever since the golden Michael Jordan era of 1998. Much of this can be attributed to the growing popularity of the action-packed game where either team can score in an amazing and athletic manner. This is coupled with cult figures such as Stephen Curry and LeBron James, who constantly show up with their basketball trickery in big games.
However for basketball lovers, it is often different and frustrating to analyse the different aspects of the game quantitatively. There is a lack of available platform in the realm of basketball where interactive visualizations exist for fans to compare the different abilities of various players. There are also no platforms for fans to observe the patterns of how their favorite players play according to individual positions and roles. Hence, there is a strong motivation to provide real-time and up-to-date information about the different aspects of the game.
