Why Rondo is Rondo

Believing in IQ tests is actually a great proof of stupidity. Being smart is being able to adapt to the unknown, it can't be measured with a test. I wish we all throw away those ****ty tests and learn to live together.

Not only is it higher than Einstein, it is also completely ********! I can ace every IQ test on the internet. I must be smarter than Einstein too!

I took the Mensa test. They never told me my IQ. They only tell you if you're in the top 2% or not, and if so, they give you a membership card that you have to pay for annually even though you get nothing whatsoever in return. So I'm forced to assume this is Rondo's IQ based on one of those online tests you see in banner ads!

You can get your IQ scores from the mensa tests. It was just an option to request it when I did it.

I'll have to contact them and ask. But back when I took it a few years ago, I was told that since every IQ test is different, they now use a percentile system instead.
 
I was just describing the guy by one of his attributes. His IQ places him at the end of the spectrum called genius. It's only an attribute. No different, in principal, then the color of his eyes is an attribute. I just thought a poster acted ticked at me for describing him by an accurate attribute. If it's a notable attribute, which it is, it's because it's rare among humans. His height is an attribute. If he were 10 feet tall, that would be notable, probably the tallest human ever. When I simply explained that I'm speaking of his IQ, he is a genius, poster comes back still ticked off at me. Sure, I'm taking it personal. I'm only describing an attribute for God's sake. Instead, I get "I'm sticking to my position". Well, what exactly are we arguing about that we're speaking of positions?

My bad I guess. But I want to suggest that if someone objects to an accurate description of one notable attribute, just don't act like you're pissed at me about it. It ain't my GD fault that he scores genius on the IQ scale, any more then I'm to blame for the color of his eyes.
 
I've never taken a standardized placement test including the high school two. What drives people to waste time on them?

Lol, whatever, I did not ask or expect anyone to change their opinion of the guy.

You can "stick by your post" until you're blue in the face. I never asked you to do otherwise, now did I? Did I??
You can hate him to your heart's content. It has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.

But, sorry, he IS a genius. And you stick to your opinion. Why would that be a problem at all?

....I apologize if it came across as an a front to you in anyway, shape or form! Did not mean to make you look as the bad guy in taking sides with Rondo and his attitude! You merely presented the facts as were stated in the article you posted. I've done similar things myself on this board! I was just ranting on Rondo being called a "genius" in life or in his approach to basketball! I suppose the word "genius" is relative in relation to how one views a "genius!" From purely a basketball state of mind, the guy is a puke! In fact, his attitude was so p-poor that reports now have it that the entire Mavericks team has voted to NOT give him a playoff share, which would be a first in NBA history! Again, my sincere apology for putting you in a bad light!

....being good at math doesn't make him a "genius!" Basketball wise he's got some talent but is basically a JERK....in addition to a pathetically poor outside shooter! Dallas blew up there playoff chances by signing this clown without doing there homework....and now, for all practical purposes, this nut-job is through as an NBA player! Oh, wait! There will always be other brain dead marijuana smokin owners, GM's and coaches that will think they can change this guy and make him fit in with there system! You probably have some clowns on this board that think the Jazz should pick him up, sign him to a big contract and hope he leads them to the promise land! Sorry for this rant....but I'm already disgusted with today's NBA, (as you all know) a professional league that has less than 10% of its teams that are even "watchable!"

Carolina proving once again that he is not a genius.

Totally agree. I can't even count how many invitations I've received to join Mensa. Wouldn't it be proof that I'm not a genius if I paid money to be part of such a ridiculous organization? My sister-in-law used to have a boyfriend who constantly talked about his Mensa membership. What a buffoon that guy was.

I'm pretty pissed at you for the color of Rhondo's eyes, tbh.
