We were talking about this on the Raptors board. If it is truly like the video, this is a game changer. Just the ease of getting any stat instantly is insane. I already signed up to receive the Beta. Can't wait to try it out.

You know what this means, right? All those ridiculous ESPN stats (e.g. "Lebron is tied for the most consecutive games with 23 points, 5 assists, and 45% shooting on Thursdays when Reggie Miller is in the audience but not commentating") are about to get spammed all over the internet.

RIP player comparisons. :noway:

Yeah other random stats that I dunno how they can be verified by anyone, whatever. Nice to solve some silly question.

Anyone know what kind of search engine they're using, the queries are coming back so quick. That's the dopest part of this site.

Anyone with technical background know how they accomplished something like this search query function? would be greatly appreciated

Been waiting for something like this, glad that somebody's gotten around to doing it.

If it works as fast IRL with thousands of simultaneous users, I'll be impressed.
You gotta have some hardware behind that, and VERY efficiently wrote code that was optimized to the max to get those response times.

That might simply have been done on the local server, meaning no internet latency, right?

Either way, those shot charts!

Well that's one way to up your reference count.

Thanks for the share, though. You deserve it.

some sort of SQL I guess - you have all the players and all the stats and seasons, then when you type "which power forwards averaged 20+ ppg, 11 rebounds on the road last season?" it runs a select query something like season = 13/14, points >= 20, rebounds >= 11, road_or_home = road, position = PF, etc. I didn't read the site yet; not sure if the visualization software is their own, or if they're running something like Tableau to get the shot charts and such, but the site is pretty neat looking.

The queries just come back so fast. I figured it may be Mongodb, MySql or SQL. But the search query is quite well coded that it seem to be semantically.
