I can't wait for the day when sports statistics are easily accessible to amateurs. I'd rather not illegally scrape basketball-reference and just pay somebody to get an api.
Ugh, STATS has an API but it doesn't appear to be available unless you're a paying customer, which looks difficult to be because there is no online sign up.
as an amateur athlete, i want stats too (but not pro stats like you're talking about), which is why i'm working on that for amateur sports. =)
Let me know if you need beta users!
will do! which sport(s) are you interested in/do you play?
