basketball IQ is a made up stat.

[sprint2thecup]

"basketball IQ" is a made up stat. there's no such thing. there's only "IQ". all other sorts of equations like "sex IQ" or "basketball IQ" are completely made up.

there's no examination that produces a quotient for basketball intelligence, thus there is no such thing as basketball IQ.

lebron's basketball iq far outstrips his regular iq and he's a pretty smart cat

but you're right i guess i would prefer if they just called them smart or perceptive when they make a good play instead of saying specifically 'basketball' iq

so what's his basketball IQ? give me the number.

How can it be a made up stat? It's not even a stat because it's not quantifiable.

Saying BB IQ is just another way of subjectively talking about how smart you think a player is.

Someone like Jeremy Lin probably has double the general "IQ" of Lebron. But very few people would say Lin has the higher BBIQ. Its two completely different things.

Nobody has ever used it as a stat. If someone one day says something like "his basketball IQ is 124.6", you'll have a point.

that's exactly my point.

Intelligence Quotient (IQ) IS quantifiable. there is an examination that produces a quotient such as 98 or 112. if you cannot get that quotient, then it's NOT an IQ.

IQ has a correlating number, always.

what about barkley. he is borderline stupid but on the court basketball iq was good.

It not made up. I know DUMB people who can ball. See lanes, see openings, make the right pass and the right time. Genius on the court. Dumb in class. It's absolutely not made up

[sprint2thecup]

when people say "basketball IQ" they mean "basketball intelligence.".

the Q stands for quotient. a quotient is a number.

then what examination gives us the quotient? show me how the quotient in basketball IQ is configured.

hint: when you call something made up, you're calling it subjective. nobody ever thought bbiq was a stat

this whole things a tautology
