I also love how all of a sudden a fan has a scale of basketball iq. Must be a combination of X-R/pi then carry the 0 and then divide by the number of smart plays multiplied by potato.

I'd love to see this so called top 10 basketball iq players, and the scale measurements used to rank them. Mad lolz.

Draymond is signed to Klutch. He probably gets a discount for pumping up Bron.

How exactly are you reaching that conclusion? There’s a number of us that would love to know.

His IQ is higher than our collective IQ, that's how, so unfortunately we just wouldn't understand. It's beyond our comprehension and mental capacity.

How much difference is there in the greatest ball IQ, top 5, or top 10? It would seem weird to include him in one group and completely exclude him from the other groups

i have about $100 on the Warriors to win the series. While i want them to end it all Thursday, i just think this Boston team is good enough to force a Game 7. Hedging my bet a bit and picking the Celtics for Game 6 just so i don't go home empty handed this NBA Finals :D

everything has to be about lebron, havent you heard? he owns the nba, atleast he thinks he does... considering kawhi, durant, curry, dirk, duncan, giannis, all have won titles during his era in the nba..... everyone got to eat, because this guy isnt as good as he thinks he is... hes failed so many times he has more Finals losses on his record than wins. Try winning a title on Jordans watch, oh wait, he went 6 for 6, and didnt allow anyone to win in his era. "that made me the GOAT right thur" lmao.... this quote will go down in history as the biggest joke ever.

Don't know if it was posted yet.

Also, kudos to Grant Williams for being the only one to pay up.

If this is related to his meniscus that’s pretty bleak for him

Probably the reason he took such a lowball deal

Of course, that goes without saying. The series is just moving super slow from a fan perspective

Jordan never lost and never allowed anyone else to win in his era, except of course for all the years he lost before making the finals

LOL. He is the best!

He got so screwed. I'm still angry for him.
Too bad he couldn't stick in Dallas, he might have helped off the bench.

I think he's still more popular with the Boston fans than any current Celtic.

Same. NBA season doesn't end after the finals. There's the draft, summer league and free agency.

Offensively, LeBron has the BB IQ of an elite scoring PG. But he's not quite up there with the greatest of the passers. (If you think LeBron is an all-time great passer, then either you're factoring in the possibilities he opens up with his handle and scoring ability, or else you're seriously underrating some other guys.)

Defensively, LeBron has good BB IQ both on- and off-ball, but again not tippy-top. Indeed, the main reason I included off-ball at all was his role in Spoelstra's rim protection by committee scheme.
