PER strives to measure a player's per-minute performance, while adjusting for pace. A league-average PER is always 15.00, which permits comparisons of player performance across seasons.
PER takes into account accomplishments, such as field goals, free throws, 3-pointers, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals, and negative results, such as missed shots, turnovers and personal fouls. The formula adds positive stats and subtracts negative ones through a statistical point value system. The rating for each player is then adjusted to a per-minute basis so that, for example, substitutes can be compared with starters in playing time debates. It is also adjusted for the team's pace. In the end, one number sums up the players' statistical accomplishments for that season.

The league-average PER is always set at 15.00. His PER this season is 11. Steph’s? 33.
But when your team blows out maybe the best defensive team in the history of the League by 30 points, and you make 2-of-2 Threes in garbage time, you’re allowed to speak your mind.
Here the jester holds court -- at least for eight seconds.
