Exciting Player Statistical News
We are excited to share that our Second Vice President, Darren Keepers, has created a website dedicated to player statistics and profiles, team history, league leaders, live game scoreboards, World Series history, Hall of Fame content, and more.
Visit the site at:
Player stats are available back to 1998, with some data going as far back as 1990. If you have records, corrections, or additional data from 1997 and earlier, please send them to stats@nbba.org
Darren has also developed an unofficial web-based digital scorecard that teams can begin exploring and learning. It is a promising tool that supports accessibility, consistency, and more efficient recordkeeping as we continue to modernize how game data is tracked.
