Not really sure..... not if you consider the 60s possessions/pace difference to the modern era and minutes played (per minute production), which PER kindof considers.... in the 60s the pace was insane and the superstars averaged much higher mpg...
Wilts 31.8 PER came in 1962-63 where he averaged 48.5 MPG for example and where the league averaged 118.8 ppg, the highest in the league’s history.... Furthermore, the average team in the 1962 season had an average of 152 ball possessions, also highest in league's history...
Conversely, over the past two decades in the NBA, teams have averaged about 90-100 possessions per game. Given that this difference gave players during that era 50 percent more opportunities to score, this would give Wilts 50 ppg season an adjusted scoring average of 33 ppg in today’s game. And that’s without considering having a 16-foot foul lane and competing against taller & more talented players......
Lebron this season in 48.5 MPG and 152 ball possessions per game:
No, he's actually making a lot of sense and seems knowledgeable about what he's talking about. Lebron or not.
Pauk is a drama queen who is a huge Lebron fanboy but he's not a troll and very informative.
He really doesn't have a clue what hes talking about outside of advanced stats. He regurgitates basketball cliches and sticks to generalizations when talking about older players. Basically, his knowledge is very limited outside of what he sees going on today. Even then he strictly uses stats to lead his arguments.
Problems everyone seem to have with Pauk or other Lebron supporters aside, if you think this isn't in some way amazing, you're being retarded. Even if you think he's statpadding, or it's a soft era, or he has too much help, etc. this is noteworthy and I hadn't realize he had upped his PER this high until this thread, so thanks, OP.
