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


Pretty sure Andray Blatch did that too :lol: :lol:

That was so dumb. At the very least, throw it to the other side of the court as a half court shot attempt :lol:

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"

JR Smith at least was decent enough to be a part of a championship team. Even if he has a few brainfarts.

I nominate Michael Beasley.

How many remember Stromile Swfit? Dude was a #2 pick with other worldly physical talent, contrast to his low bball IQ.

I vote for Byron Mullens. Despite being the number one player of his class in HS he was the dumbest player on the worst NBA team of all-time.

I know I've said this before, but Joey Graham always stood out for me. He had a LeBron-calibre body but more often than not he just looked like a jersey-wearing fan had walked onto the court by accident and didn't know how to get off.

That's the first that came to mind.

But how about Chris Washburn, Warriors 3# pick back in the day....yikes.

Honestly, i'm going with Drummond here.

The guy with the basketball IQ could have been a superstar.

Draymond green because he thinks his triple singles and bad attitude makes him a star in the league...

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.
