    pffft. Nowitzki is just one of the greatest shooters ever. If he was high IQ, at 7' tall, he would have exploited the game even more than he did. He was just average.

    And I have proof

    Great win, but yet another example of how the current roster is just not what we had last season. Last season the bulk of the fourth quarter would have been irrelevant - we should have run away with this game long before the 4th quarter, and the lapse in the 2nd to allow the game to get close was a let down that a better opponent would have capitalized on better.

    I would say he did extremely well considering his lack of athleticism, enough to where he became one of the best scorers of all time. If we put Battier's brain in Green, Green would be a superstar.

    Let me put it this way. Do you consider LMA a high IQ player, and why?

    Yes, because he knows where and how to leverage his strengths to score.

    Nowitzki is a highly coordinated 7'er with extraordinary footwork for that size. For shooters, 7' and the practiced and skilled ability to do step-backs trumps whatever you mean by athleticism.

    Firstly you dont really know how intelligent a player really is unless you know them in real life. Secondly Ryno does not even have good bball IQ, he does stupid **** all the time was known as a chucker with terrible shot selection when playing with New Orleans.

    Also dead on shooters like Kapono and Marco Bellinelli are also bad BBIQ wise

    I guess high IQ bigs...in today's game would be like Jokic, Embid and Zhou Qi

    Also I guess if you compare Duncan and Nowitzki....well, I think Duncan proved to be a far better player well into his old age than Nowitzki and thats possible because he was so smart.

    Yeah, he's not dumb. I consider him and Nowitzki to be about average.

    LMA is pretty dumb on defense. And if you don't give him his Pick n Pops, and Dwight Howard touches on the low block, he is pretty lost on offense...and starts pouting enough that the Offense isn't going through him, that the Coach has to trade away the franchise player to appease him.

    I wonder if you put Battier's brain in Draymond Green, Green would shoot as well as Gerald Green?

    Oh wait, Draymond is actually smarter than Battier ... he can run an offense.

    Bro we won by a lot, and you come in afterwards just to say this, if you had been saying during the game or if the game had been close I would understand, but this...nah, I disagree.
