Shot Chart, Hexmap and Heatmap for NBA.com. FlightsReact.

NBA Shot Charts (Inspired by FlightReacts)

This is my kind of project. I'll get this done by June. All jokes aside, this is a my attempt to create a shot chart, hexmap, and heatmap. All complete functions are contained in the jupyter notebook.

Here's a link to the youtube tutorial: https://youtu.be/a3u-3gEYvxM

FGs % below the shot chart

Hey man, great work here, inspired by you, I am creating an simple graphic interface where the user can place the name of the player, select the season and generate the shot chart, the image below just to illustrate.

I was just wondering if there is a way to display the player's FGs% (like fg%, 3pt% and ft%) below the shot chart? Maybe on the x-axis label or something like that. I think it would be a great addition to the shot chart, because sometimes just by looking you can't really see if the player had a high or low percentage. And since I don't really know much about these python modules, I thought to ask you.

Thanks in advance!
