This is publicly available data that has been scraped from NBA statistics.

The data is from between 1990 and 2016. Each row describes the performance of a basketball player during their first ('rookie') year. A target feature, 5Yr has been added. This is 1 if the player was still playing in the NBA 5 years later, or 0 otherwise.
