Add Deprecated Teams Going Back to 1950 #96
Comments
Here's the list of all the teams: https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/ Need to investigate if all the teams are supported or not. |
I added the ones I could find into data.py (see below). Unfortunately that page doesn't cleanly list all franchise abbreviations, so I used another site that had most of them listed correctly. Including duplicates for different spellings did not adversely affect results (like UTH vs UTA for the Jazz). I'm sure some franchises are missing, but these worked for pulling data all the way back to 1950 without NULL being returned for team.

Related to #96 - decision was made to only support NBA teams for the time being.
When pulling advanced stats from the beginning of time on BR (1950), a lot of the results come back with None for team. I did a quick test and added the Minneapolis Lakers (MNL) to data.py and was able to properly populate the team where None had been previously.
