Anthony Davis rookie season plays

I'm big Anthony Davis fan so I did something I think never has been done before. I went through all Hornets games this season and created videos with Davis plays. I focused on field goals made, blocks, steals, assists and turnovers. Sometimes official NBA stats are really odd (especially assists and steals), but I recorded every play which was officially counted as FGM, AST, BLK, STL or TOV. I hope you will enjoy it.

David, IMHO you should get an honorary unibrow for this fine effort.

Spectacular effort, thanks.
Out of curiosity how long did it take you? What was your process? Hopefully a lot of play-by-play data...

Almost 6 months :) Consistency is the most important thing during work like that.

Yes, pbp was really helpful here. With pbp one game takes around 10 minutes, so it's around 2.5h of work per month and after season some time to put it all together.

So you've decided to start it very early in the season? Interesting... and makes more sense.
Also I guess you can have this title of "the biggest Anthony Davis fan" ;-)

So a total of 12-15 hours? I would expect more but I guess there was a lot of practice in there...
Still impressive though. I could use such consistency in some of my data-collecting projects ;-)
