Joel Embiid now qualifies for the all-time PER leaderboard after reaching 15,000 career minutes played — he ranks 2nd behind only Nikola Jokić

  1. Player Efficiency Rating (PER) is a per-minute rating developed by John Hollinger:

    >”The PER sums up all a player’s positive accomplishments, subtracts the negative accomplishments, and returns a per-minute rating of a player’s performance.”

    How it’s calculated: [https://www.basketball-reference.com/about/per.html](https://www.basketball-reference.com/about/per.html)

  2. I know PER has been around for a while, but the number of active players in the all-time top 10 (including now 4 of the top 5) makes me wonder if PER is implicitly (or purposely) designed to make modern NBA players look good.

  5. Last night he hit 13K points and 15K minutes. Scoring .87 points per minute is the best in NBA history and just unreal. Probably will drop as his career goes on but it’s still insane
