Brandon Jennings 2008-09 European Season Stats

Yes you did. You implied that Rubio was a good Euroleague player. Again he is not. He is a good Spanish League player.

Yeah, well, that's like saying Tayshaun Prince is a good NBA player but not a good Olympic Games player.

Give the kid a break. How many Euroleague games has he played? I'm gonna tell you: 21

16 games in 2006-2007: being 16 years old he averaged 3.3 assists and 3.45 steals (stat leader) in 18 mpg. You probably remember that 7 assist 7 steals game against your "beloved" Panathinaikos and a 5 reb 3 ast 7 stl game against Olympiacos. I'm sure you were wondering where on earth had that kid come from. This Euroleague season contributed a lot to his fast increasing hype.

5 games in 2008-2009: played 5 games with just one hand, failing to log more than 10 minutes in 3 of those games. So the stats are irrelevant.

So technically you probably can't say he is a good euroleague player but you certainly can't say the opposite. But you and I don't have the slightest doubt that given consistent playing time on a team that consistently made it to the Euroleague Rubio's stats would be as good as the ones he has on the ACB. Because yes, ACB stats translate pretty well to the Euroleague.

So it's not that he didn't do great in Euroleague (steals leader at 16 is not bad though), it's that playing limited minutes in 21 games he hasn't had the opportunity to show anything. Just to make your point more precise.

And the things people say about Jennings... I truly haven't seen him play, but from what everybody says he didn't perform great on the Italian league, which is not even top 2 in domestic euro leagues. His Euroleague stats are similar I think. But I don't think it's fair to call him a bust or say that the stats are shameful and translate into an NBA bench warmer. Give him a break too, he is a kid playing totally different basketball in a far away country. He will get better, just give him some time before passing judgement on him.

Nope. His team is a small club and it's not even a very good club. It's a mid level ACB club without much money to spend. Put Rubio on a big Euroleague club like PAO, CSKA, Olympiacos and he would barely even get playing time. Also Rubio did not lead the Euroleague in steals. That's another MYTH that has been created by Spanish homers. Prigioni is the official steals leader of the Euroleague in 2007. That is a fact.

You know how I know your IQ isn't 197?

Because you spend way too much time here writing posts in broken English, with bad grammar and punctuation, to boot.

Thank you, though. You've provided the best laugh I've had all week.

My IQ is 197. It's officially tested at age 15 by the officially accepted test.

[KWSN-Men]

My IQ is 197. My mother's IQ is 197 and her father's IQ was 200. My father's IQ was 160.

I'm sorry, but there is absolutely no way that is even possible.

This is probably the smartest man alive right now, and he's at 210....

The person with the highest IQ alive today is suppose to be Kim Ung-Yong from South Korea. Who's IQ was ranked at 210.

Testers have only been able to estimate the IQ of Kim Ung-Yong, who was born in Seoul, Korea, on March 7, 1963. His IQ has been placed at exceeding 200.

At seven months he pointed to Earth's moon and called it moon. He wanted a 'moon' of his own.

He was fluent in Japanese, Korean, German, and English by his fourth birthday.

At four years, eight months he solved complicated calculus problems on Japanese TV. He is considered to be the most brilliant person alive.

Kim was a guest student of physics at Hanyang University from the age of 3 until he was 6. At the age of 7 he was invited to America by NASA. He finished his university studies, eventually getting a Ph.D. in physics at Colorado State University before he was 15. In 1974, during his university studies, he began his research work at NASA and continued this work until his return to Korea in 1978.

Some others....

•Physicist / Engineer Kim Ung-yong has a verified IQ of 210
•Bouncer Christopher Michael Langan has a verified IQ of 195
•Engineer Philip Emeagwali is alleged to have an IQ of 190
•World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov is alleged to have an IQ of 190
•Author Marilyn Vos Savant has a verified IQ of 186
•Actor James Woods is alleged to have an IQ of 180
•Politician John H. Sununu is alleged to have an IQ of 180
•Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is alleged to have an IQ of 180
•Mathematician Andrew Wiles is alleged to have an IQ of 170
•World Chess Champion Judith Polgar is alleged to have an IQ of 170
•Chess Grandmaster Robert Byrne is alleged to have an IQ of 170
•World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer is alleged to have an IQ of 167
•Mathematician / Physicist Stephen W. Hawking is alleged to have an IQ of over 160
•Microsoft Founder Paul Allen is alleged to have an IQ of over 160
•Actress Sharon Stone is alleged to have an IQ of 154

What is your point?

No, it isn't. Maybe that's what you were told it was, but I assure you, you don't have an IQ of 197. Someone was either trying to make you feel better, or they've been playing a very cruel, very funny joke on you for quite some time now.

But whatever. Stay delusional. It's really not my problem, and as long as you keep posting under the impression that you're some kind of genius, we're all guaranteed some entertainment around here.

Oh, and for your personal edification, you should know that there is no one standardized IQ test. The closest would be the Binet, or maybe even the Wechsler (Which is designed specifically for adults,) both of which have more than their fair share of detractors. Basically, there is no, "Officially Accepted" IQ test in existence.

What is your point?

Christ... It really doesn't take a genius to see what his point was, does it?

[PhilasFinest]

Jennings could still become a solid NBA pg...sometimes i see alot of Telfair in him tho...more flash than simple, streaky inconsistent jump shooter etc.

If anyones got a high bust potential...its Jennings...as if anyone of the top PG's are likley to fall..its Jennings.

[KWSN-Men]

My IQ is 197. It's an officially documented and tested IQ. Get over it.

[casey]

For someone as smart as you it's surprising that you haven't posted proof of this yet.

[KF10]

I was about to comment about Jennings but the dude with the high IQ made me laugh.

[vincecarter4pres]

Leave the poor guy alone. All he did was mistake his SAT score for his IQ.

[Alfred]

The chance that he has an IQ of 197, his mother had an IQ of 197 and her father had an IQ of 200 is slim to the point of being completely unbelievable. You are talking about something in the range of one in a trillion++, or more than the number of people that have ever existed.

If you count his father being a genius as well, the denominator becomes even more astronomical.

[Genjuro]

I know this IQ thing might be interesting, because if it was true, it would just show how overrated it is (it has always puzzled me Sharon Stone's high IQ, considering her film career seems architected by a (Please Use More Appropriate Word)).

Anyway, bottom line, the guy could have a 70 IQ and his opinions wouldn't be more ridiculous. So who cares? The only thing I do believe blindly is that he's 15 years old. No question about that.

That summed it up well.

Here's to you sir.

[Zeitgeister]

Thanks for the new sig KSWN-MEN! This guy is the gift that just keeps on giving. F'ing hilarious.

There is one obvious answer here. Talkbasket=Stephen Hawking.

Come on, guys. It's a fact.

http://www.euroleague.net/item/44616

Rubio 3,5 steals per game
Prigioni 2,9 steals per game

You can't even get this one right. Not too brilliant for a 197 IQ guy. It's a fact.

And the fact that he is on a small club (5th in the ACB, that's in the highest tier by European standards, but I give it to you) doesn't mean he is not a good Euroleague player. By any means. And you are speculating on his playing time in those clubs. Ironic enough, he will probably play 25-30 minutes per game in the NBA this year, so I don't think he is not good enough for the clubs you mentioned

Thank you for the link to this thread. I just had the greatest lunchbreak I've ever had at work. I laughed, I cried, but I mostly laughed.

Talkbasket is my favorite poster on REALGM. He's also my favorite poser.

Leave the poor guy alone. All he did was mistake his SAT score for his IQ.

WINNER!

My father was a rocket scientist. He is the one that designed the stealth system on the stealth bomber. My mother is a secretary (secretary is the highest IQ profession there is on average). My mother's father taught calculus at college at age 12. He was also a partner with JPL and Howard Hughes and helped to develop the rocket engine.

If you don't believe it so what? To each his own.
