I don't think anyone can make a legitimate top-5 bball IQ ever list without Kidd being on it. Him, CP3, and LBJ would be the only unanimous members. (Rondo, Nash, Stockton, Walton are others who might sneak onto the list.....Draymond as the wild card.)
"How big they were in their era" is an interesting question. 1st-team All-NBA isn't a perfect measure but it's a decent one. How many years were you considered the 1st or 2nd best guard in the NBA? Cousy - 10 selections West - 10 selections Oscar - 9 selections Magic - 9 selections Harden (if you consider him a PG, which he's been whenever he's been great) - 6 selections Kidd - 5 selections CP3 - 4 selections Frazier - 4 selections Curry - 3 selections Isiah - 3 selections Nash - 3 selections Tiny - 3 selections There's a good chance that Curry and/or CP3 are gonna boost their total this year too. That's 12 guys already. You can take Tiny off cause he got hurt and his window was too brief. Take West or Harden off if you want to claim they weren't point guards. But then you have to put Stockton (harder to rack up 1st-teams when it was Magic/MJ automatically every year until '92). That's 10 guys before we even talk about Payton, Dame or Penny.....
For sure, for guys I didn't see play, which would be before 1999 for me, since I dont have the memory of having watched them to form my own opinion, I lean on All-NBA, period pieces of what they were in their time, and for the most elite players, MVP finishes/placements year over year. There is no perfect measure but I think these are all fair descriptors to give you a guage on what guys were in the time they played!
Nah but I learned it from your mom cause that’s what she always asking me to call her. You stupid little bytch
You nikkas dumb the fact Russell Westbrook won an MVP over: Lebron Harden KD Steph All 4 of these guys are approaching top 15-20 all time players and he beat all of them out and averaged 31,10,10. Also won two scoring titles over the likes of: Durant Harden Curry Again 2 players in Harden and Durant that will probably go down as top 5 pure scorers of all time And over a player in Stephen Curry who is the greatest shooter of all time You borderline retarded if you think Russ ain’t a top 10 PG of all time
I think Bird was a high IQ player, don't get me wrong about that. But too often I saw games where shyt was sort of happening around him rather than him dictating the terms. I didn't feel he controlled the game with his mind the way that you could see Walton, Kidd, or Bron doing. That's just my opinion though. Bird's shooting skill, mental drive, height, and "background" lead his bball IQ to get overrated ever so slightly....
stupid little bytch is just what a lonely little dude like you can come up with to say. run sumwhere lil boi and go play ur video games or watch whatever it is that has u having such a dirty mouth. think of sum more curses to entertain urself as well while u are at. I am sure u can cum better then the word bytch. Ain't u tired of using it by now? Probably not with the lack of intelligence you seem to have.
