Kobe has highest basketball IQ in the NBA followed by Nash

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Kobe-Bryant-has...

"The Oklahoman recently conducted an interesting, albeit basic poll among players and coaches to determine who has the highest basketball IQ in the NBA.

Alanis Morrisette-ironically, the player who garnered the most votes was a gentleman (and basketball scholar) who never attended college or university.

Stay in school, ki— bah, forget it.

The results were as follows:

1. Kobe Bryant(notes), Lakers
2. Jason Kidd(notes), Mavericks
3. Steve Nash(notes), Suns
4. Chris Paul(notes), Hornets
5. LeBron James(notes), Cavaliers

Also receiving votes were the Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony(notes), Jazz point guard Deron Williams(notes) and Dwyane Wade(notes).
"

Agree with most of the list but Tim Duncan needs to be somewhere in there, take out Lebron at the 5 and put duncan in
