-        "This project analyzes NBA player performance trends from 1990 to 2024 using season-level data. The goal was to clean, explore, visualize, and interpret long-term changes in scoring, assists, 3-point shooting, and player height. The dataset was filtered to include only NBA players, and the selected features were Season_Year, PTS, AST, 3PM, and height_cm. After cleaning, the final dataset contained 7,633 rows and 6 columns.\n",
-        "\n",
-        "The data cleaning process included removing non-NBA rows, dropping missing values, extracting the numeric year from the season string, converting all selected columns to numeric types, and filtering the data to include only the years 1990–2024. Yearly averages were then calculated for all performance metrics.\n",
-        "\n",
-        "The main research questions of the analysis were:\n",
-        "\n",
-        "1. How have points and assists per player changed over time?\n",
-        "2. How did 3-point shooting evolve between 1990 and 2024?\n",
-        "3. Did the average height of NBA players change over time?\n",
-        "4. What is the relationship between scoring, assists, height, and 3PM?\n",
-        "5. Does the league rely more on isolation scoring or on teamwork over time?\n",
-        "\n",
-        "The visualizations revealed several patterns. Average points per player remained consistently high, while assists increased gradually, indicating improved ball movement and offensive efficiency. Three-point shooting showed a dramatic rise after 2010, reflecting the shift toward perimeter-oriented basketball. Average player height remained relatively stable, suggesting that strategic changes—not physical changes—were the main drivers of NBA evolution. A scatter plot showed a clear positive relationship between assists and points, meaning that higher team play often results in higher scoring. The points-to-assists ratio fluctuated across different eras, showing shifts between isolation-heavy play and more collaborative basketball. The correlation analysis showed a strong positive relationship between points and assists, a moderate negative relationship between height and 3PM, a slight negative relationship between height and points, and a weak positive link between 3PM and scoring.\n",
-        "\n",
-        "Overall, the findings show that the NBA evolved into a faster, more efficient, and more perimeter-focused league over time. The strategic emphasis on spacing, ball movement, and analytics had a strong influence on the style of play, while physical attributes such as player height remained largely unchanged. The results highlight how team dynamics and shooting trends shaped modern basketball more than changes in body profiles.\n",
