This visualization ranks the top 50 NBA players of all time using a scatterplot of career points per game versus rebounds per game, with each player’s name labeled and colored by their win shares (WS). The plot uses a “bubble” encoding where point size is proportional to win shares, and the x-axis is points per game while the y-axis is rebounds per game. The data comes from a JSON file listing players with career averages and advanced metrics. Missing values for steals, blocks, or three-point percentage are left blank, and the scatterplot appears to highlight the clustering of dominant scorers and rebounders across eras, with legends like Jordan, Chamberlain, and Abdul-Jabbar standing out.

Gist 1e62506e7bca2ddfbb82

This visualization maps every NBA game since 1946 onto a grid where the x-axis represents combined losses and the y-axis represents combined wins. Each cell’s color and size indicate the number of games played between teams with that specific combined win-loss record. The chart uses d3.csv, d3.nest, and d3.scale.quantile to process the game data and render the colored rectangles. The visualization also highlights the best and worst historical records with step-after lines, making it easy to compare team performance over time.

Fork of NBA Player Efficiency Scatter Plot

This scatter plot visualizes NBA player scoring efficiency using a dataset from a GitHub gist. It plots minutes played on the x-axis against a selectable y-axis metric—points, rebounds, assists, steals, or blocks—with each dot representing a player. Dot color indicates efficiency (points per minute), with Western Conference teams shown in reds and Eastern Conference teams in blues, differentiated through `d3.scaleSequential` with `interpolateReds` and `interpolateBlues`. The visualization uses D3 v6 with SVG rendering, including animated transitions via `transition().duration(600)`, interactive hover opacity, a dropdown menu built with a custom `menu` module, and a color legend for conference identification.

Stacked Bump Chart

This stacked bump chart tracks the career spans of 25 top NBA players from 1950 to 2015, showing how their all-time rankings shift year by year as their careers overlap. Each player appears as a horizontal line whose vertical position indicates their rank at any given time, with white and blue dots marking career start and end points. The visualization uses D3.js with the d3-jetpack and d3-starterkit helper libraries, building line paths via d3.svg.line and positioning labels and circles through scale functions. Data comes from Basketball Reference’s top players list, remade from a New York Times presidential primary graphic.
