Parsing a JSON url

I am trying to understand why I am unable to load symbols from a webpage and I am confused.

When I try to make one website like jakarta.apache.org; I can track the output well. When I try to use the NBA site, I try to parse; it just spins.

Any idea what I can do?

//http://stats.nba.com/stats/commonplayerinfo?PlayerID=201566

           String works= "http://jakarta.apache.org";
           String doesntwork=   "http://stats.nba.com/stats/commonplayerinfo?PlayerID=201566";
           InputStream in = new URL(eitherOne).openStream();

 try {
System.out.println( IOUtils.toString( in ) );
} 
finally {
IOUtils.closeQuietly(in);
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

I have tried registering the url and when I copy and paste it; it loads fine in the browser. So not sure what else might explain why it works at one address and not another.
