Word. BBall IQ is a way of describing a player's smarts and overall feel for the game. It isn't a stat, like rebound percentage or assist to TO ratio.

Someones mad that Westbrook got called out for making dumb plays.


Just because someone hasn't made a test for it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Did IQ or intelligence exist before the 19th century? By your logic it didn't because a test hadn't been made for it.

Just because we can't give it an exact number doesn't mean we don't have a feel where people would place compared to others.

With all the slang words and words we butcher in the king's english, why does this bother you so much? When people say it, they clearly mean "Basketball Intelligence".

You're attempting to be smarter than you actually are. Everything isn't meant to be taken literal.

"Metal Rim attached to a backboard with a hanging net ball intelligence" is the correct term, you're right.
