Makeover Monday: NBA Team Salaries Against the Cap

Shortly after I finished this week's Makeover Monday, I reached out to Eva to give her some ideas for how to approach the data, given her disdain for sports data. I told her to basically think of the data as actuals (team salaries) vs. budget (salary cap). Then it struck me, this is pretty much how I approached the Visual Profit & Loss Statement I created last summer.

With that in mind, here's a second Makeover Monday from this week, a scorecard of NBA steam salaries vs. the salary cap. Click on the image below for the interactive version. From there, click or lasso any set of years and the bullet chart and BANs will update accordingly.
