I assure you that Cuban doesn't hold PER in any higher standing than WS. I don't like WS either, but you're the one using MVP voting in this argument.

I was quoting BasketballReference PER, which as Deron as having a 22.1 season in the past.

I'll take Garnett as the best player on the Celtics last year. Rondo has had some incredible bursts, and some great playoff runs, but over the course of a whole season and playoffs I don't think he's ever been their best player. It's very, very hard to be the best player on a team when you can't shoot and average under 12 points a game.

And Deron Williams is a significantly better basketball player than Tyson Chandler, which was the original disagreement.
