I Get Paid For Having a High Basketball IQ - How You Can Too!

  • You don't have to be the fastest or most athletic basketball player to make it to the next level. However, if you do have those physical shortcomings, your skill and IQ are going to have to be elite. In this video I break down my own film as a professional player in Finland to show you what a high basketball IQ actually looks like, and how you can implement it into your own game.
    Let me know in the comments if you think you have a high IQ, or if it is something you need to work on!

    A shot fake on the first step of a layup is called a ‘Pinoy step,’ as it originated from the Philippine players (Filipino=Pinoy). I only learned about this a couple weeks ago; it’s such a great move to get that defender to jump or at least rise up and then you have a clear path on your second step.
    I watch a lot of basketball knowledge/training content and you make great videos, Tucker. Lots of people obviously appreciate them a lot. Great job.

    Hey tuck, my season just finished, we ended up losing the championship game by 16 points. I think we would have won, but we only had 6 players and 2 fouled out before the end of the 3rd qrt and i was still nearly able to carry the team, but then they started leaving a player under the basket and throwing outlet passes to him.
    Moving on from that, i want to thank you for helping me to progress in my confidence and even my iq although i was already a high iq player. I wouldn't have had the season i did if it wasn't for you, so thanks.

    I think one thing that goes on the high IQ level for players to get open are off ball screens. Not just for the guy getting the screens but a player setting a back screen forcing his defender to guard the back door but while the guys primary defender is having to recover and the screen setter getting himself open for a shot after that

    Great video. I'm 32 and have been training for 10 years, will be going to the g league tryouts. Right now I'm on week 18 of a strict lifting program, where I've gained about 15 lbs since the new year. I shot 200 makes today, 300 makes yesterday in "feels like -17 degrees Celsius" weather according to a weather app lol.
    It was actually only -2, but the wind chill was bad. I figure dealing with the elements will make my mentality more iron indoors. I have to calculate for the wind on certain shots.
    I also study at least 2 or 3 offensive systems per day and draw out the plays so that it is second nature to me. I've coached university men & women, the kids who came up after me in my old college. A few game winners on the record too.
    G League tryouts are in September. Look out! If I don't make it, no worries, plenty of other places I can hoop. But my sights are set, and I think I have a strong chance given the work I've put in.

      Hmmmm, were you stressed about thinking you might lose or your own performance? I would say for either one, just putting it in perspective and realizing at your age winning and losing doesn't matter. All that really matters is growth and if you learn from the performance you had. So if you don't play well, figuring out why is important. If you approach it like that you will be less anxious about playing badly because it is just a learning experience.

      I was about 5' 10" coming into high school and then grew to about 6' 3" my 10th grade year. You are still young so have time to grow, but also so many players have made it to the next level at the size you are now!

    Is it possible to play at high levels being 5,9 tall?

      Yes, for sure! At my division 1 school I played with a few guys your size. Height isn't everything!

    I'm not the most athletic, and I do really well when playing slow and in control, but my coach doesn't like it too much, should I keep playing slow, or speed my game up?

    • @TuckerRichardson

      Hmmm...why doesn't he want you to play slow and in control?
