NBA Exec told Jaylen Brown he was "too smart to play basketball"

Taylor Rooks is the finest woman alive...

Explain. Because I see NFL players being smarter.

Yep, every since middle I've seen football players get better grades and go to more prestigious schools based off academic performance.

 

[MJ Truth]

Basketball players set the template for success outside of sports, not saying football players aren't smart but you don't have a huge list of NFL players who have the business acumen of guys like

Bill Bradley
Lebron James
Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
Shaq
Kobe Bryant

and I could go on and on.

Also because of the global nature of basketball it almost forces you to be more worldly. There are a lot of players who speak two or more languages and have been all over.

Again I'm not saying there aren't smart NFL players or baseball players but basketball even at it's base level stimulates, different parts of the brain than other sports and this coming from a football first guy.

Dont confuse being famous with being smart. Not saying the players you listed are not smart because they are but the reason basketball players have more business avenues open to them has more to do with their celebrity and the fact they are easily recognizable. Football players dont have that advantage. You would be better off giving random players as examples and not legends.

If they were smart they wouldn't have gotten caught up with those slave contracts...one reason why I always respected NBA players a bit more because the majority of them are about business and would never get themselves trapped in slave agreements cause they know their worth...NFL players indulge in c00nery mindsets which is why they have no power inside their own league.

There are tons of dudes smarter than jaylen brown in the nba, you’d think this nikka was a Rhodes scholar with a doctorate from Oxford the amount of times you hear from him how smart he is.

Word Chris Bosh, Pau Gasol who I think was on his way to becoming a doctor before the league. Brown is easily the most pretentious player in the nba.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

No 1 told that lying.ass nikka he was too smart for anything

You think those contracts have something to do with intelligence and not more to do with how replaceable football players are? There’s 52 men on a roster and most of them don’t get into the league until they’re 22 and only have a finite amount of time to get as much money as possible and then they’re done by late 20’s. Basketball players come in at 18/19 and can play well into their mid 30’s. Then they have leagues overseas that will pay them millions of the NBA doesn’t want to. I think that has a lot more to do in those contract negotiations than “intelligence”. Also Lebron James has a lot of fukking power in the nba. Tom Brady by contrast doesn’t...his own team and coach is ready to kick him to the curb after giving them 6 Super Bowls

I’m glad I’m not the only one that sees through Jaylen Brown’s bullshyt. He’s always come off as one of those “I am very smart” ppl that really are not as smart as they think.
