Appendix
For NBA Stats from 1997 to 2019, I copied and pasted onto an excel sheet and then imported into R.
For NBA Players Stats from 1997 to 2019 and ESPN Archives I used rvest package in R to scrape from Basketball Reference.
For NBA players salaries, I downloaded the csv. file form a Celtics fan page on ESPN.
The All-NBA players list was created by myself. I searched online for the names of the players and then typed in their names to filter out the players dataframe.
The standard I used to select top 10 shooters is any player who attempted to shoot three-pointers for at least 3 times per game and whose average three percentage is over 40%.
