basketball IQ is a made up stat.
"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.

Re: basketball IQ is a made up stat.
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

Re: basketball IQ is a made up stat.
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.

All in all he's just another prick with no wall

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.

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

Re: basketball IQ is a made up stat.
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

It's a colloquial term. It isn't math. Nobody has ever pretended it was math.
Why do they talk about "wingspan". That's not biologically accurate. Nobody is playing with feathers.

Re: basketball IQ is a made up stat.
Sorry I suck at communicating .. Yes we agree, but what I meant was that most people use it as a quality and not a quantity regardless of what "IQ" actually means. Since most people use it as a quality and not a number/mathematical measure of actual intelligence, no one really made up any stat.sprint2thecup wrote:jstnw89 wrote:How can it be a made up stat?

A test would have to be created to measure it real time on the basketball court. Similar to the skills test they do at all star. High ball iq guys will do better. And it's because they gave a keen sense for the game that is more than athleticism. It's an instinct. Just because we haven't devised a way to examine it means it doesn't exist. Just not yet. In fact the exam is the game. If we gave points for smart plays, Kidd would be off the chart, Lebron too
