Answer 1

You are specifying 5 columns, but trying to insert 6 values per row, and there is an extra bracket after VALUES, you want something like:

 INSERT INTO `2018_players`(`p_id`, `player_fname`, `player_lname`, `stats_id`, `home_id`, `extra_column`) VALUES 
  (1, 'LeBron', 'James', 2, 3, 23),
  (2, 'Stephen', 'Curry', 4, 5, 30),
  (3, 'James', 'Harden', 6, 7, 13),
  (4, 'Giannis', 'Antekokounmpo', 8, 9, 34),
  (5, 'Paul', 'George', 10, 11, 13);
