Maybe it’s not IQ but is eq or self awareness....but I just want to put draymond


Okay, but from an BBIQ perspective, Dray is the antithesis of this thread.

Absolutely- just want to hate on him...but he is up there with on the court IQ—— until the whistles blows then he is a mad man

MIL had Brandon Jennings, Corey Maggete and Drew Gooden on the same team.

I don’t think any of them are individually the lowest bbiq of all time but that is a lot of dumb in the same place at the same time.

There are so many good candidates for this, but I’ve been watching Stanley Johnson for 2 seasons in a Raptor uniform and I’m always blown away with how poor his decision making is. Utterly clueless. And he’s no rookie, 6 NBA seasons.

I dont get how so many people believe in the raptors,they have zero to chance to win it all.

I'll start off...



If Lebron was half the leader people think he is there's no way he'd let this stoner not know the score going into this possession.

Compound that with his literal crying and finger pointing as red marks on his leadership resume.

While the actual GOAT knew how to reach and motivate a guy who regularly skipped practices and would go to Vegas and return the day of games.

Look at the GOAT talking to the greatest rebounder in NBA history like an owner reprimanding his puppy, pure alpha. "Do NOT **** this last possession up, Dennis"


How the heck do you turn a thread about the dumbest ball player into a MJ vs Lebron comparison. Truly MJ stans are on another levle even above LBJ fanboys. Yikes. :oops:

The original post referenced JR Smith in the Finals, what wasn't shown in the clip was Lebron quitting on his team which led to the L and 3 more Ls in a row.

Lebron is supposed to be this great leader but he let some stoner moron mess it up for everyone else. I then showed Jordan masterfully checking a bigger headcase than JR in the same series that determines the champ.

One guy has lost 3 in a row six times in the Finals the other guy has won 3 Finals in a row twice.

Glad I could catch you up to speed, buddy.

Strike for derailing. Not every thread has to be turned into an MJ vs. Lebron battleground

I probably watched more MJ than you ever did bud. Its still completely off topic.

If JR Smith was on MJ's team he would literally strangle him to death. You think JR is comparable to Rodman? You wish, Rodman is 100x the ball player JR ever was and could actually lock in when serious. MJ would crush JR just like he crushed Kwame.

As for the MJ vs LBJ comparison. Both great players, I have MJ as the GOAT currently and LBJ top 3. Your arguments for why stink but thats besides the point. I am not going to get into an argument with an MJ fanboy. Both are great ball players but I don't feel strongly about either player one way or another to get into silly arguments with fanboys.

Popovich gave Rodman away for Will Perdue, what you don't realize is Jordan got him locked in on the second threepeat teams. Lebron isn't close to the same leader, it's why he's failed on the biggest stage repeatedly. Him giving up after JR's mistake spells out his entire career arc.

Stat padding?

He tried, but he didn't knew the rules. That's why he made an attemp at his own basket in order to get an easy rebound, but that didn't count and his team lost the ball.

Lots of people have mentioned JR Smith, but I don't think anyone has mentioned Derek Harper (not a low IQ player in general) doing almost the same thing, which I happened to see live on television at the time.

In game 4 of the 1984 Western Conference semifinals against the Lakers (Lakers leading the series 2-1), the score was tied and the Mavs got possession with 13 seconds left. They pushed the ball upcourt and got it to Harper with 6 seconds left. Harper dribbled out the clock near midcourt, and started to run off the court in triumph at the buzzer.

Oops.

The Lakers won the game in overtime and closed out the series in game 5.

Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Yesterday I was lying; today I'm telling the truth.
