play_by_play has a event_msg_action_type field. These map to the event_msg_type. Understanding what these mean and adding them to a const table will greatly increase the queriability of the play_by_play table, possibly. The nba_api docs go into a bit of detail, but generating a solid mapping of id -> understandable value is still needed.
