Who has NBA's highest 'B-Ball' IQ?


“Having a high basketball IQ is like having the answers to a test,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “I honestly think it’s a feel thing. For the kids with the most basketball smarts – the kids with the best feel for the game – most of the stuff just comes naturally.”








A player with a high b-ball IQ is like having the head coach multiply his spirit in various forms on the court. If not a few, at least one individual, a team's point guard usually, like quarterbacking a football team, must know and expect what his coach, fellow players and he himself wants, and when. While the game of hoops has witnessed great athletes, fewer have possessed such rare qualities as the ability to seemingly "see" where others on the court cannot.   

Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Isaiah Thomas and John Stockton come to mind when considering some of the most dominant 'all-seeing-eye' ballers in NBA history


But 2012 NBA pro's have a few good picks of their own with regard to current players, and their high IQ status. After checkin'-out these featured NBA-YouTube videos, who would your top pick for the NBA player with the highest IQ be?
