I feel it, but Rondo IQ is ridiculous. I doubt everyone would lie about it to coddle his ego.

The way I see it, a high BBIQ player will play to their strengths and develop plenty of counters. Dude absolutely is out-chessing everybody, like how he out-chessed Bron with that pull-up 3.
As a comparison, Giannis is a similar physical match-up problem, but the difference is that KD has much higher BBIQ, even though that is a trait Giannis is known for.
Plus the way dude be swarming on defense
With Curry it's the pass, drive, shoot decision making tree and opponent's being constantly off-balance the entire game.

Nah, Rondo is straight genius. I didn’t have a great appreciation for him because he was a Celtic against my Heat but he is really smart. It gets loss in some of the assist stat-padding and dikkish behavior but that dude’s mixture of memory, vision, decision making, craftiness, ability to predict defenses, etc...it’s insane.
