True or not, it sure is interesting. According to the article, Yao's IQ is 132. The Rockets' aveage IQ is 98. The article is in Chinese. If someone can translate it into English, that will be great. Or maybe someone can try to find the original info in English. Link: http://sports.sina.com.cn/k/2009-05-20/15344389976.shtml
How do they even know the IQ of all the Rockets players? I've never heard that kind of information being available about any athletes. In order to calculate the average IQ, they would need the accurate IQ of every single player on the team. Not everybody gets IQ tests in the first place. Sounds like a bogus article. They would also need the IQ scores of every player in the NBA to determine that Yao has the highest IQ. What kind of news source is Sina? Is it more of a tabloid?
Didn't know the NBA gave IQ tests at the combine. You have to be a little skeptical about how they accumulated the data to proclaim Yao the smartest guy in the NBA.
Does the iq test have a question about what you do when you are up by 9 with a few minutes left in a game and Chauncey Billups is dribbling the ball up the court near mid court?
This is r****dED. YOU need to have your IQ checked for starting such a thread and believing in those IQ score the article has provided.
I bet the writer of the article pulled those IQ stats not out of his ass, but out of those “TEST YOUR IQ" ads online. lol.
Well, there is little doubt that Yao is a smart man. But highest IQ score in the NBA? By believing that this is the case and asking the question, the OP almost deserves the title of Most IQ in a thread. Most IQ as in Most Idiotic Question.
Sina is one of the biggest website in China. The article said Yao's IQ is 132 which even higher than Brack Obama's 130! Here are some other players' IQ mentioned in that article. Shaq: 131 Kobe: 128 Lebron: 126 KG: 126 It said that they got these numbers from a website named IQ TEST in USA. The website evaluated all the NBA players' IQ and came out that result. Sounds interesting..
it's Sina guys! the OP obviously posted this for $#%#s and giggles! or did he? I'm really starting to wonder when was the last time I saw something of value coming from that piece of crap website.. just ban this thing already
It is on Sina.com but the article was originally published in a Chengdu newspaper. It's b*ll***** either way.
Wow, now that gave it away. Shaq with 131? He cant even put a sentence together. Same goes for the rest fo those clowns.
Wow, these are some lofty numbers. An IQ of 126 puts them in, I believe, less than 1% of the population, and an IQ of 130 is close to a genius. Obviously failed for a fabricated story.
With Sina, you have to wonder if the article started like this: Random ESPN article Sponsored links: Some Chinese reporter:"Woah."
