As part of my on-going series on the construction of all-time lists based on various advanced metrics, I bring to you the all-time list for the highly popular statistic, PER. PER, which was created by John Hollinger, is perhaps the most well known advanced statistic today. In order to convert PER (a rate stat) to actual production, we can rely on Hollinger's estimated wins added (EWA), which computes the number of wins a player added to a team based on their PER, position, and minutes played.

The methodology for computing a player's all time score from their EWA was simple. First I computed their regular season EWA. Next, I computed their EWA in each round of the playoffs and gave higher weight to successive rounds (e.g. conference finals matter more than the opening round). Finally, I simply summed the player's regular season EWA and weighted playoff EWA.
