Lowest IQ Player Ever

We have seen lots of terrible players over the years. Who has the lowest BBall IQ ever? Tough to say, it's purely a judgement call. We've even seen the great ones have brain farts and WTF moments.

I'll start off...

It's nearly impossible to be dumber than JR Smith on that play.

Just close the thread. There's no play worse than the one in the OP.

JR Smith wins just because of the enormity of the consequences

Whoever the lowest IQ NBA player was, he's not in the league anymore. And he had a short career and we prob don't even remember him. Everyone has dumb moments here and there but you have to know how to play the game to stick around in the NBA.

Even though I will root for Russ this season but Westbrook deserved to be mentioned.

All those forced bricks during crunch time will cause me migrena a lot this season.

JR Smiths problem was partially that he was most likely high a lot on the court.

Peak dumbness aside, I'm pretty sure Anthony Bennet is up there when it comes to overall basketball dumbness. That's one dumb mfer.

Yea, that's why I'm saying Anthony Bennet. Maybe not necessarily the dumbest, but dumbest compared to the IQ expectation given the fact that he was the 1st pick.

Hahaha, he was so desperate for a triple double one time (he was one board shy) that he actually launched a shot at his own team's backboard at the end of the game to collect a rebound for himself. Too bad it didn't count.
