PER is a dumb stat to track the historical performance BEFORE it existed. Widely used stats affect play for some of these stat hungry players. I'm sure if the 60s-90s players were as stat obsessed as today, some of those players would have better stats.

It's like trying to judge 3pt shooting of today against players shooting that same distance before the 3pt shot existed.

Stats lead to greater rewards for players now much more than they did then.

quote:

The announcers gush about LeBron, mentioning him in the same sentence with Jordan, who hears every word. Those words have an effect on him. He stares at the TV and points out a flaw in LeBron's game.
"I study him," he says.
When LeBron goes right, he usually drives; when he goes left, he usually shoots a jumper. It has to do with his mechanics and how he loads the ball for release. "So if I have to guard him," Jordan says, "I'm gonna push him left so nine times out of 10, he's gonna shoot a jump shot. If he goes right, he's going to the hole and I can't stop him. So I ain't letting him go right."
