Re: basketball IQ is a made up stat.
This is a funny topic
But just to clarify, BBIQ is a basketball term, not really any different from the way "rebound" is a basketball term. The words mean different things in a basketball context.
BBIQ just seems to be your awareness on the court (offensive only, as players like Nash/ Kobe tend to get credited with amazing BBIQs but not players like Dwight [when he was good]).

if you really mean it then yes, but westbrook ISN'T a dumb player. the "basketball IQ" slang term is made up exactly to attack good players like westbrook, who ball hard but do not appear intelligent.

Why do they talk about "wingspan". That's not biologically accurate. Nobody is playing with feathers.
Well, I dont know about that...

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".

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