Yao's not smart enough to keep the ball up high, or to use his hands to grab a rebound instead of tipping it. You'd think he's seen that problem on tape once or twice. He is pretty smart, though. Sure, I love Yao. Everybody loves watching him work over a brute with a shake or pass to hit a cutter. I just want a little more out of him. Seeing as he's so smart and all .
Book Smarts: Bill Bradley Bradley was a Princeton graduate, a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, a Senator, and a presidential candidate. Court smarts: Magic Johnson I know there are better passers than Magic, but no one is better at making his teammates better than Magic. He knows when to reward the big man and when to stroke the shooters. His court vision translates to great leadership and management skills off the court, as his business empire is one of the most successful minority business ventures in America. If only he were smart enough to wear a condom, I would almost put him above Bill Bradley.
I don't care if he made the perfect score on the LSAT and MCAT and invents a way to harness cold fushion... any player who would drive away a dominant big man from the team out of pure ego is a fooking idiot in my book.
Anyone who favorite movie was Little Mermaid can't be really smart. Smoke and mirrors for David, maybe he has an evil twin who really is smart and did his coursework My vote is that guy. In addition to suppossedly actually being smart, he convinced the Warrirors to pay him that kind of jack to play center for them. Must have been like Eistein playing with a bunch of Irish Setters for that to happen.
