Currently, the scraper uses Python and Selenium to scrape ESPN's NBA data. Since this project is meant to gain familiarity with Go, it makes sense to write the scraper in Go as well.
Another task in this ticket is to migrate scraping from ESPN to basketball-reference since they keep many more statistics and have more players in their tables.
Tasks
[x] Investigate what scraping library to use with Go
[x] Create a scraper that parses all athletes and writes their stats to a newline-delimited JSON file for the indexer to use
