I built an NBA data app for the 2025–26 NBA season and postseason. I built it mostly to test out a few new tools, so this is less about advanced NBA analytics and more about using NBA data as a means to an end (building an end-to-end data stack with Claude Code).
Here's what I built:
- Connected to the NBA stats API via Python.
- Synced almost every NBA data point imaginable from the 2025–26 season into a managed data lake.
- Modeled the data with Cube.
- Shipped a live dashboard with games, box scores, player detail, and a 3D shot-chart playback.
Tools used:
- app.definite MCP - data ingestion, storage, modeling, BI/data app.
- Remotion - building the 3D shot animations (then added to data app in definite) + creating this demo video.
- Claude Code - for everything, obviously
