Please note the Player/Pick Database has been updated with significant new functionality to let you dive deeper into analytics.
You can now go look at the game logs of every player in league history through the end of 2015 - all their game logs are in one place. Note that as of this post, the box score logs are still being parsed; they should all be completed in about half an hour. As you can imagine even with a computer it's slow work parsing 35,400 box scores (total number of games played in the league through 2015) and converting that to over 750,000 individual player game logs.
You can also look at PBSL-stats records (does not include NBA stats like the nodes do) in multiple ways:
* Career Totals overall
* Career Totals for a particular Team
* Career Totals AGAINST a particular Team
* Single Game Records overall (with the date it happened and a handy link to the box score of the game when it happened)
* Single Game Records for a particular Team
* Single Game Records AGAINST a particular Team
Other nifty things you can see:
* Defensive Matchups (starters only) - if you look at a player's Game Logs page and see a defender listed, that means the player was a starter that defender started opposite of him. Enterprising GMs might use this to scout out who has had the best success "slowing down" a particular player or checking out if your defender is statistically a bad matchup against which someone goes nuts.
* All-Star Team performances - the All-Star teams are treated like every other team so you can track players' all-star game performances (sorry, no rookie/soph game because that doesn't appear on the schedule).
Hopefully this gives everyone some new historical tools to play with as they look at new ideas for articles, Hall of Fame nominations, etc. - I just figured it's about time we get a tool that allows us to actually plumb the depths of the league's history since we're in our 27th season now.
(Not implemented yet but on my to-do list: Track every player's ratings every year so you can see how players grow and decay over time.)
