    Efficiency? lol.
    Cuz Tim Duncan has 2 All Stars in his team, and it's a lower scoring team.

    The Player Efficiency Rating (PER) is a rating of a player's per-minute productivity.

    To generate it, I created formulas -- which I've outlined in tortuous detail in "Pro Basketball Forecast" -- that return a value for each of a player's accomplishments. That includes positive accomplishments, such as field goals, free throws, 3-pointers, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals, and negative ones, such as missed shots, turnovers and personal fouls.

    Two important things to remember about PER is that it's per-minute and pace-adjusted. It's a per-minute measure because that allows us to compare, say, Drew Gooden to Donyell Marshall, even though there is a wide disparity in the minutes they played. I also adjust each player's rating for his team's pace, so that players on a slow-paced team like Indiana aren't penalized just because their team's games have fewer possessions than those of a fast-paced team such as Phoenix.

    Bear in mind that this rating is not the final, once-and-for-all answer for a player's accomplishments during the season. This is especially true for players such as Bruce Bowen and Trenton Hassell who are defensive specialists but don't get many blocks or steals. What PER can do, however, is summarize a player's statistical accomplishments in a single number. That allows us to unify the disparate data on each player that we try to track in our heads (e.g., Danny Fortson: great rebounder, high-percentage shooter, turnover machine, fouls like crazy, etc.) so that we can move on to evaluating what might be missing from the stats.

    I set the league average in PER to 15.00 every season.

    It's a statistical calculation. Dirk's got a better FT record and fewer TOs. It doesn't make him a better player, just a better statistic.

    you bunch of -bags. That's based on Dirk's stats, it's a formula (same criteria for everybody), it's not made up by Hollinger. Dirk's just more efficient than Duncan in those selected categories.

    Call up your boy TD and tell him to put better stats, then he'll be before Nowitzki
