mlbplotR VS hoopR

If people are looking to do this, what I did was to copy the csv used to map team logos to assets from mlbplotR, make a function to grab each image from whichever spot, and use AnnotationBbox to actually plot the logo.

I’m away from my computer to upload the code, but I got the logos and the foundation for the code from mlbplotR! A great and super useful package.

Thankfully, I've made use of the hoopR package which lets me get data that is up to date, primarily by pulling info from ESPN's APIs. While that does most of the work, there's tweaking that I need to do (most particularly for streamed game broadcasts that aren't ESPN3/ESPN+) but it usually goes fairly swimmingly.

Next, we’ll look at a few measures of performance on the court to see whether certain signs are better or worse suited to particular aspects of the game. For each of these, I took player box score statistics (sourced from https://github.com/saiemgilani/hoopR), grouped them by the player’s astrological sign, and calculated their average numbers through the 2020-21 season. First, we’ll look at scoring -- the chart below shows each sign’s average points per game.
