Alright, folks, let’s dive into something I messed around with today – grabbing Kyrie Irving’s 2016 stats. It wasn’t super smooth, but hey, that’s how these things go sometimes, right?
First Steps – Finding a Source
So, first things first, I needed to find a place to get the stats. I mean, I can’t just pull them out of thin air, can I? I Googled around a bit – “Kyrie Irving 2016 stats,” “Kyrie Irving 2015-2016 season stats,” stuff like that. I wanted something simple, not some crazy database I’d have to wrestle with.
Hitting a Snag (of Course!)
Initially, I found some websites, but man, were they a pain. Tables all over the place, weird formatting… it was a mess. I’m no web scraping expert, so I was hoping for something a bit more… user-friendly. I spent a good chunk of time just clicking around, trying to find a site that wouldn’t make my head explode.
Finally, Some Progress
Eventually, I found a site that had the basic stats, I put them together. It wasn’t perfect, but it was way better than the others. It had the main stuff – points, assists, rebounds, all that jazz. I was able to kind of eyeball it and copy the important numbers into a simple text file. Super manual, I know, but it worked!

Here are the stats:

Cleaning Up (a Little)
Once I had the numbers, I did a tiny bit of cleaning. Like, I made sure the headings were consistent, and I double-checked that I hadn’t accidentally copied any weird characters or anything. I’m not gonna lie, it was pretty basic, but it got the job done. I wasn’t aiming for perfection, just something I could easily read and understand.
Wrapping Up
So, yeah, that’s the story of my little adventure with Kyrie Irving’s 2016 stats. It wasn’t some fancy, automated process. It was more like a digital scavenger hunt, a bit clumsy, but I got what I needed in the end. Sometimes, you just gotta roll with the punches and do things the old-fashioned way, right? It’s all about getting the information, even if it’s not the prettiest process.
