BBIQ ( was RE: Will Powe Go?)

[Kim Malo]

Are all 3 really BBIQ though? I don't think so. Number 3 seems to me 
very much a general leadership issue vs anything to do with BB 
itself. I mean, cue up Tony Robbins or go out and find a remaindered 
copy of "Success is a Choice" (and we all know how that turned out). 
While number one is almost inherently antithetical to number 3 and 
leads to a lot stupid basketball, such as Ricky D making sure he gets 
his "respect" i.e. shots and stats, by not letting anyone else touch 
the ball as he dribbles the clock out before taking the ML Carr 
option on the shot... on possession after possession Hey, *his* 
performance was maximized. Of course the team lost... Or in a less 
toxic form, it could be limited to a matter of maintaining peak 
athleticism if you're one of the many players who are really better 
athletes than basketball players and not really capable of changing 
that. While number two is only part of the equation. Understanding 
the situation doesn't equate with knowing what to do about it. All 3 
can work in symbiosis with BBIQ of course, with all of them 
benefitting from the result...
