Wrappers around the NBA Stats backend at stats.nba.com/stats/....
All requests go through request_with_proxy() (in
utils_nba_stats.R) which sets the required NBA-side headers
(x-nba-stats-origin: stats, x-nba-stats-token: true,
Referer: https://www.nba.com/) and threads a proxy via
getOption("hoopR.proxy") / env vars / explicit proxy = arg.
