Steve Nash should be in the top 3 when it comes to BBIQ

Whenever I think of high basketball IQ and fundamentals, the first name that comes to mind is Time Duncan.

Deron Williams now is definitely up there. A couple of years ago, I would say Jason Kidd had the highest basketball IQ out of any player (early 2000s). The guy could read a play five seconds before it occurred.

Matt Carrol is the best player in the league, except for when he isn't. See how that doesn't work?

Nash, Rondo, CP3, Duncan, Kobe... you can make a good case for any one of a dozen or so contemporary players as having the highest BBIQ.

But Bill Russell had the highest BBIQ ever. No close second.
