Damn great counter didn’t know that

 

I know you have algorithms...maybe even an AI named Wilson. How long did it take you to make that search of Curry's career?

 

you feel me?! I can’t counter that. He got me

 

I had already written the code for checking on Dame to find a sequence of N consecutive threes with at most M makes for player P. I just changed those 3 variables for Curry. So in this case it took one minute to change the code and 20 seconds to run. If I had to write this query from scratch, maybe 30 minutes to write. It mostly depends on how time tricky the query is to write.

On the other hand I’ve spent months figuring out how to cope with anomalies in the raw data to get to the point that I can match box scores on basketball reference from the low level game events.

 

wow....that's quite a hobby....or do you do something similar for your livelihood?

and when you say you use box scores from bbref, does that require some kind of OCR or are you able to access those boxes on some code level? I would imagine you don't have to enter every bit of data by hand...?

you can tell me to stuff it at any time with my questions by the way

 

I do software development for a living. Windows apps and SQL but nothing similar to this. This is just for fun.

I don’t hook into bbref I just output from my app what you’d see for a player on bbref and manually compare. One player like Dame is probably 20,000+ events so it’s a pretty good test.

I like the questions so feel free.
