Fixes league values for players that did not play a season
Resolves #184
In each of the cases mentioned on the issue, the player did not participate for a given season.
In Alonzo Mourning's case it was due to illness
In Dominique Wilkins' case it was due to playing in other professional leagues
And in Rick Barry's case it was for legal reasons
So when parsing leagues from a player's page (when search redirects to player's page when they are only matching result) check to see if league is None
