Lol Kobe and Duncan hit the fountain of youth. It's crazy

[LongIslandIcedZ]

A lot of this makes me question the 'PER' stat, but its pretty cool to see that Davis is playing really well.

[NYMetros]

Greg Smith for MVP

[ee]

marshon only plays like 14mpg, this PER system isn't very interesting.....

[ManRamForPrez24]

Yeah, obviously there are surprises. Can't imagine Duncan, Kobe and McGee sustaining this.


People bashing PER because of this, well, calm down and google "sample size".

Im amazed at how well and efficient Kobe is playing with the addition of Dwight and the new D'Antoni system. A lot of people doubted Kobe under those 2 additions.

We'll see if this continues for him once Nash returns and the season goes deeper.

You dont like knowing how well players are producing given their minutes?

D'Antoni has only been around like a week and it is yet to be seen if they run his traditional system. Kobe was doing this even while the team was learning Princeton sets. I dont there is an offensive system in existence that can stifle Kobe. That said, this is historically efficient for him. Cant blame people for not expecting the unexpected.

[RonE Coleman]

Meh, PER is an overrated stat.

Guys like Rondo constantly have an average PER because they don't score much.

Surprised Harden fell so quickly after his ridiculous PER to start the season.

x2.

i was thinking to myself during the Lakers/Spurs game- I really hope Duncan doesn't look like this in the playoffs. It was a strange deja vu- ive been watching kobe and duncan go at it like that for over a decade.

[Im_in_Mia_bish]

it'll all even out when its all said and done

[Swashcuff]

Why do people continue to bash that which they don't understand? You guys realize you can make a fundamental statistical analysis of an individual and not even use his PER? Honestly nothing really surprises me there though. If have enough brain cells to be able to understand PER, how it is found and what it represents then in truth and in fact you really won't have much of a problem with it.
