What does per stand for in basketball?

The player efficiency rating (PER) is a rating of a player's per-minute productivity.

That includes positive accomplishments such as field goals, free throws, 3-pointers, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals, and negative ones such as missed shots, turnovers and personal fouls.

What is basketball pass?

Are you perhaps referring to a "passed ball"?

If a pitch gets past the catcher allowing a runner to advance one or more bases then the official scorekeeper has to make a decision.

If he/she rules that the catcher should have been able to catch or stop the pitch but did not then the ruling is that the error was made by the catcher and it is a "passed ball".

If the scorekeeper rules that the fault lies instead with the pitcher then it is ruled a "wild pitch".

Has there ever been a perfect NBA season?

No.

Although the NBA has long been known, thanks to the work of writers David Berri and Ross Booth, to have a lower level of competitive balance than either the NFL or the AFL in Australia, it plays a schedule four to five times as long (82 games as against sixteen in the NFL and twenty-two in the AFL).

As a result, it is not practically possible for even the best teams to play consistently at their best for a full season in the NBA. This means that no team in the NBA has ever came close to a perfect season: indeed no team in the NBA (nor for that matter in MLB or the NHL) has started a season with as many as twenty-five wins (the equaivalent of a perfect season in the AFL).
