So IQ outside of the basketball context refers to our current best measure for understanding someones natural intelligence. It doesn’t reflect their education (although I have a bone to pick with that because one of the measures for the WAIS is a vocab section, which is really reliant on education). In general IQ is something you are born with, and remains static (unless a brain injury happens).
Basketball IQ is not the natural intelligence you have with regards to your basketball intelligence. It’s the combination of your intelligence and basketball knowledge, which you apply on the court to make a smart play.
People with high basketball IQ’s make really smart plays. Whether it be recognizing one of your players has a smaller guy on them, and getting them to post up. Or if it’s fooling opponents by doing the same move twice, scoring, and then when it looks like you’re about to do the same move a 3rd time, you pivot to score a different way, fooling the defense. People with high basketball IQ’s use their knowledge of the game and experience to make the smartest play, not the hardest play.
