interesting data that I've scraped from stats.nba.com
The NBA has been tracking the exact location (x, y coordinates) of every single shot that's been taken since the 2001-02 season.
shotsdata.txt is a dump of this data from a Postgres database.
This is the data that is used to generate visualizations like the one below.
To import it, run:
psql yourdb < shotsdata.txt
