Power BI Portfolio Project | Analyzing Kobe Bryant's Shot Selection: A Data-Driven Tutorial!

In this episode of Data Discoveries, we dive into some Kobe Bryant shot stats!

I know very little about basketball, but I know just enough to know whether I'm visualizing the data correctly. This video is proof that you do NOT have to know a ton about the subject matter to be a successful Data and BI Analyst. You just have to be curious.

I've always admired Kobe's dedication to his craft. Everyone's heard the crazy stories about him getting into practice at 3 AM and already having done workouts by the time the rest of the players arrived. His persistence is what made him so masterful, and I'm grateful to have the opportunity to pay tribute via his shot data!
