    What exactly is basketball IQ...and how do you teach it?

    In this episode, Kevin and Coach J break down what makes a player “smart” on the court, and why 3on3 basketball is the fastest way to develop high-IQ players.

    • Signs of low and high basketball IQ
    • Why great passers are often the smartest players
    • How watching film (the right way) boosts awareness
    • How 3on3 reps build anticipation, trust, and feel for the game
