The only white players in the league with low bball IQ are big men. Lets face it for a white player to survive in the league a the guard or wing position theyneed to know the game and be very skilled.

There are alot of European players that can just shoo lights out that arent considered smart players...

For instance not saying he wont improve but when Gallinari played last season he was able to shoot lights out and showed great signs but he was only 20 yearsold and would make ALOT of rookie mistakes out of inexperience, i dont think anybody watching him last season would think he had a high basketball IQ. In factits safe to say that basketball IQ has to be one of his weaknesses right now because he is so young and inexperienced... There are alot of Euros who fall intothat category

Brad Miller is also considered to make dumb decisions.

Birdman is also considered to have a low bball iq, but yeah he has a "black" game

Lets face it for a white any player to survive in the league a the guard or wing position they need to know the game and be very skilled.
tell that to a dude like Darius Miles

there are some players who have made it on the wing just based on athletisim and decent skills even though they are %*!*%%* morons when it comes to bball iq...sure in order to go FAR you need a high bball IQ but there are servicable NBA players who have really low IQs... and lets face it, not to sound racist becausea white person could do it, most NBA players that are athletic enough to just make it on that alone and not a high IQ are black.

But than again Birdman is white and he makes it really just off his athletisism and hustle, and than as forementioned tere are white Euro players who dont haveparticualrly high IQs but make it off of great jumpshots.

Name a white player in the league that plays on the perimeter and is above average athletically...Manu is the only one I can think of and he isquick but I wouldn't say he's an explosive athlete or anything.

And I'd agree that you hardly ever hear of white players having low bball IQ's, but that's mostly because most of them aren't good enough toeven talk about

For example, people talk about JR Smith and Ricky Davis having low bball IQ's, but they were still pretty good players who were worthyof being discussed. Nobody cares if Spencer Hawes had a low bball IQ because he isn't really worth a damn.

What does that mean? are you trying to like back up Gallo?

My dude, im a Knicks fan and i think Gallo is sick and his potential is through the roof, but im just being real. It should be expected out of any 20 year oldregardless of race. Gallo would make mad nervous inexperienced mistakes when he was on the floor lastseason. I remember one time he tried to cross a dude upand got completely exposed and stolen rom, he did **%@ like make passes that were careless, and have dudes get easy layups when he should have been payingattention and playing help defense. Im not saying i dont think he will get smarter but in terms of basketball IQ, Gallo was probably 2nd worst after Z Bo lastseason

Jason Williams only got the rep because he was flashy, but if you look at his stats in memphis his AST/TO ratio was really good.

I don't get the need to ask questions like this....Whites are smart, blacks are athletic. I mean, isn't that what this is about?
