Man, I remember when Kyrie Irving’s 2016 stats were the talk of the town. I was so hyped about his performance that year, I just had to dig into the numbers myself. So, I started this little project to see if I could pull those stats and play around with them.
Getting Started
First things first, I needed to find a place to get the data. I mean, there are tons of sports websites out there, but I wanted something I could easily work with. No fancy APIs or anything, just plain old tables that I could somehow grab.
The Process
I started by just, like, Googling around. You know, “Kyrie Irving 2016 stats,” stuff like that. I stumbled upon a few sites, and some were definitely better than others. Some had way too much extra info, others were just plain ugly. Finally found one that looked pretty clean.
Then came the fun part – actually getting the data. I ain’t no coder, so I was looking for the simplest way to do this. I’ve messed around with spreadsheets before, so I figured I’d try to somehow copy and paste the data into a spreadsheet.
- First Attempt: Tried just highlighting the table on the website and pasting it into Google Sheets. Nope, that was a mess. Formating all over the place.
- Second Try:Tried a different * chrome is the * changes.
- Third Time’s the Charm:After some searching on google,I found the way how to do it.
Results
It took some playing, but It is done. It felt good to see all those numbers lined up neatly in my spreadsheet. It’s like, I took this data that was just sitting on some website and made it my own, you know?
Anyway, that was my little adventure with Kyrie’s 2016 stats. Nothing too crazy, but it was a fun way to spend an afternoon and learn a thing or two.
