How come we don't see any mention of PER or efficiency anymore?

I killed it with my "efficient but not dominant" campaign.

Nope. Nobody takes you serious


Lebron killed it with with his below average shooting this post season

PER rewards shot jacking. I think his PER would be fine. IIRC his PER was worse than Curry's and Harden's before the Finals. Now it isn't, that should solve it. BTW - PER rewards shot jacking because of offensive rebounding opportunities it gives, which was really relevant to this series.

Im a huge lestan and ill say that if lebron was more efficient, that would have led to a higher PER and they would not have lost in 6 like they did

How come Kobe never had truly impressive PER?

PER is for lazy people who dont watch games and can't take individual stats into context. for lame kids who think real basketball is like video games and you can compare players properly by taking 1 made up number and seeing whoever's is larger.

PER is still very Relevant... What were Curry's and Bron's PER for the Finals ?

Lebron's PER for the entire playoffs were 25.3 .. Very good but not MJ like or even Lebron like 2012-2014

Curry 's PER for the entire playoffs were 24.5 and he led the playoffs in Win Shares... Great playoffs for Curry..


MJ always had the besT PER, best stats, always won the big games, and he passed KOBESTANS EYE TEST TOO...

Damn.

So I'm confused... are you guys saying PER is a good stat or not?

They saying is good when it shows lebron in a good light. Bad when it does not

When it favors LeBron, it is. If it doesn't favor LeBron, it isn't.

It really couldn't be more clear.

I'd say his '06 PER is pretty impressive. 28-30 is the same tier IMO. 30+is next level.
Curry had a 28 PER this year while sitting out fourths. He was at 26-9-5 65 TS% per 36. That's insane.

LeBron was at 29-8-7 on 62 TS% in 09 and he sat out fourths. "Next level".

25-27 is just, "great". Below that, it's only all-star level and "really good". This is just my opinion(except the off reb, that's fact), I'm no advanced stat nerd with this.
