Hoops and Highlights: A Visual Journey Through NBA Stats

Football is my favorite sport. When I was a kid, we’d order pizza every Sunday and gather in the living room to watch the Cowboy game.

And I’ve loved football ever since.

This is not a football project. It’s all about basketball.

When I started digging into this data set diving into the 2021/2022 NBA season stats, I knew very little about basketball. But as a lifelong learner and master Googler, I had no problem finding resources to learn basketball basics.

Once I had a basic understanding of plays, positions, and the main rules of basketball, I was ready to dig into the data.

I opted to analyze and visualize this data in Tableau. I’d created a dashboard, but for this project I wanted to familiarize myself with Tableau Stories.
