Build a wide, one-row-per-team crosswalk linking ESPN, NBA Stats, and Fox team
identities, keyed on espn_team_id. nba_teams() already supplies the
ESPN<->Stats linkage; this reshapes it and attaches Fox. Yahoo columns are NA
placeholders. NOTE: ESPN/Stats team endpoints are current-season snapshots, so
season is a stamp; historical relocations are not back-modeled live.
Usage
nba_team_crosswalk(season = most_recent_nba_season())Arguments
- season
NBA season per hoopR convention (default
most_recent_nba_season(); e.g. 2025 for 2024-25).
Value
A hoopR_data tibble, one row per team (ESPN / nba_* / Fox / Yahoo
column groups + match_method / match_confidence).
