Euroleague Basketball

While not as popular as in the USA, European basketball has its own fan base as well. I have seen some datasets scattered around on European basketball, however could not find one that has play by play data historically. Hence, I decided to create my own with help of Euroleague's JSON format that is easy to reach.

Content

Data includes play by play data for the Euroleague (top European basketball competition) since 2007, for the Eurocup (second tier international competition) since 2012 to 2020.

Data is acquired via Euroleague's JSON format which was easy to get. I create a short Do it Yourself (DIY) notebook for the ones who want to get the data for themselves.

Acknowledgements

These two github repos are my starting points, without their upstart would be hard to compile this data.

Future Work

Regularly updating this data and making interesting analysis would be definetely interesting to see. As my time allows, I will try to make them.
