i can create a 5 page test on how to butcher a chicken to get a butchering iq, but it would be alot easier to give the chef a chicken and watch him for 8 minutes.


Lmfao this killed me ...

Game, set, match OP ... Get back to the lab bro. It looks like you need to beef up on your RealGM IQ. You either have a Jevale McGee-like RealGM IQ or some big ass cajones to start a thread like this.

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.


how do you measure heart? But you always hear about how much heart a player has.

BB IQ is just an expression for smart decision making on court. Craftiness, cleverness, not to be error prone... Just a reduced way of say that.

No one believes it is a statistic.

Basketball IQ isn't even a stat. It's just a way of saying that someone is very intelligent when it comes to understanding the game of basketball.

OP is grasping at straws and arguing over semantics, and therefore wasting everyone's time. Of course bball iq isn't a real stat, because there are no numbers involved. Even though IQ stands for intelligence quotient with quotient meaning that there is a number involved, when people on this forum talk about bball iq, they pretty much mean basketball intelligence. Noone here treats babll iq like it can be represented by a number. However, there is no doubt that basketball iq (or more accurately basketball intelligence) is real.
