Get Nested JSONObject Java?

I am trying to get a JSON object nested inside another JSON object. When I run my main class:

import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;

import java.io.IOException;

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, JSONException {
    NBAPlayers players = new NBAPlayers();
    JSONObject json = players.readJsonFromUrl("http://data.nba.net/10s/prod/v1/2017/players.json");
    JSONObject League = json.getJSONObject("league");
    JSONObject standard =League.getJSONObject("standard");
    JSONObject firstName = standard.getJSONObject("firstName");
}
}

I get the error:

 Exception in thread "main" org.json.JSONException: 

  JSONObject["standard"] is not a JSONObject.

I am using the the maven artifact org.json:json package.

This is a part of json that returns url in the example

  {
  "_internal": {
    "pubDateTime": "2017-12-10 11:42:23.504",
    "xslt": "xsl/league/roster/marty_active_players.xsl",
    "eventName": "league_roster"
  },
  "league": {
    "standard": [
      {
        "firstName": "Alex",
        "lastName": "Abrines",
        "personId": "203518",

        ],
        "draft": {

            "seasonStart": "2012",
            "seasonEnd": "2013"
          },
          {
            "teamId": "1610612758",
            "seasonStart": "2013",
            "seasonEnd": "2013"
          },
          {
            "teamId": "1610612752",
            "seasonStart": "2014",
            "seasonEnd": "2014"
          },
          {
            "teamId": "1610612758",
            "seasonStart": "2015",
            "seasonEnd": "2015"
          },
          {
            "teamId": "1610612742",
            "seasonStart": "2016",
            "seasonEnd": "2016"
          },
          {
            "teamId": "1610612751",
            "seasonStart": "2016",
            "seasonEnd": "2017"
          }
        ],

as you can see standard is not an object. It is array.

You should change your code as follows

JSONArray standard =League.getJSONArray("standard");
    for (int i = 0; i < standard.length(); i++) {
        String firstName = standard.getJSONObject(i).getString("firstName");
    }
