Context

1. The goal of the author to achieve from this dataset is to practice the basics of data analysis e.g. Data Scraping, Data Cleaning, EDA and publicly share the dataset for everyone's use.
2. By using Python Selenium automation and BeautifulSoup, two sources are required to establish this dataset.
3. If you wish to get a dataset from the other seasons (or any season type e.g. pre-season, playoff), please feel free to visit my GitHub to use my Notebook to scrape them.
4. Keep in mind that the dataset is based on the total stats of each players from the whole season, not the average point-per-game stats.
