The Code (how we built this model)
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score

df = pd.read_csv('nba_allstar_original.csv', skiprows=1)

df['AllStar'] = df['Awards'].str.contains('AS', na=False).astype(int)
df = df[['PTS', 'AST', 'MP', 'AllStar']]

df = df.dropna()

X = df.drop('AllStar', axis=1)
y = df['AllStar']

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

model = DecisionTreeClassifier(max_depth=3, random_state=42)
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

y_pred = model.predict(X_test)
print(accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred))
Under the Hood (how the model thinks)

This is the actual decision tree the model learned. Starting from the top, each diamond asks a yes/no question — follow True left and False right until you reach a coloured leaf, which is the final prediction.
