Brandan Wright is a better player than LeBron.
His PER is better so he's better.

And according to PER GSW is by far the best defensive team in the league.

not PER, offensive rating.
again not a fancy stats.
its how many points you allow PER 100 possessions, it's simple 5th grade math.

I believe they're #1 in D by a number of metrics. But guess what? Their D also passes the eye test. I've watched a bunch of GSW games and its obvious they're a great defensive team. If you don't think so, you either haven't seen enough of them play or you're not paying attention.

no point in mocking a specific stat/advanced stat. of course it doesnt tell the whole story and its dumb to base an entire argument on a stat(s) but it is a valid way to support an argument/opinion

Look I don't know what else to say can't tell if you guys are trolling, very young, or just struggle with math.
a sort of antagonism towards math and science is strange and uniquely american thing.
I would understand it more if it was some Bayesian linear regression like some advanced plus minus systems, but PER, defensive/offensive rating. it's adding subtracting/division. it's dumb simple,

Stats can have flaws and outliers. Really that simple. PER isn't a perfect metric to determine a players ranking or value, but it helps. When judging a player...a number of things have to come into context. Eye test, box score stats, winning etc etc.

Kevin Love ended last season 3rd in PER. High usage. Does ANYONE believe he was the 3rd best player behind KD and LeBron last year or even the best at his position?

They have allowed the least amount of points per 100 possessions. if allowing the least amount of points means you are the best hen sure.

Exactly. The PER dudes don't believe anything else matters. All my averages are better, my teams record is better and I beat you head to head yet your the better player due to PER. It's laughable.

You gotta be trolling. Gotta be. Clearly he wasn't a top 3 player last year...but he was arguably best in his position and a top 10 player. Some things are favorable in stats depending on skillset and position. K love was a fantasy monster. You get caught up in stats too much. You can't possibly think everyone takes everything so literal and finite

Ok I see so you are mad that people don't think your favorite player is better than Chris Paul.

No...that's too simple. Basketball is a team game. Beating someone head to head, having a better record and having better averages does not make you a better player.

Instead of typing Kevin Love averaged 26 PPG/13 RPG/4 APG/ on 46/38/8 FTA we just say 26 PER.
its the same thing just more convenient it's not accurate down to the decimal point.
get over it.
