The league on Friday is unveiling a redesigned, fully sortable engine that will contain just about every statistic in N.B.A. history. And the database, at NBA.com/stats, is free to the public.

The database contains every box score of every game played since the league’s inception in 1946. It graphically displays every player’s shooting tendencies. It allows fans to analyze and compare lineup combinations. And for the first time, the N.B.A.’s site includes advanced metrics — like true shooting percentage, usage rate and defensive efficiency — that have been available on other sites for years.

A version of the statistics tool was created six years ago, for exclusive use by N.B.A. teams. Last February, the league opened it up to reporters and bloggers who cover the league, as a sort of beta test. Now fans will have access.
