High IQ and Fundamentals > Raw Athletisicm

[Straight forward]

OK, I just have to start this debate. What's your take on it?

I have guys as Jokic, Bird, Doncic, Nash, Stocton, Marc Gasol as superior to Russ, Melo, Carter, McGrady, Wiggins, Iverson.

Today we can see that IQ and fundamentals prevail athleticism and pure ISO game, let's say. Jokic, Doncic, SGA is the lively prove of this fact. That kind of breed took over NBA. Fundamentals wins over athleticism. If you watch at 6 top MVP race candidates, you find 4 guys as basically non athletic freaks and 2 guys who are athletic (Giannis and Tatum).

So I'm much bigger fan of fundamentals. This is probably the future of basketball. American basketball slowly becoming provincial in comparison to European basketball where there's so much fundamentals.

Off course, the scary thing is when fundamentals are matched with athleticism as in case of Lebron, Jordan (he had fundamentals and read the game well, but just wanted to hardcore ISO in his prime pretty much, that's more about EGO), Hakeem, Barkley. But that's extremely rare.

Today in the game, non athletic freaks are dominating the game because of their IQ and fundamentals.

I think Anthony Edwards is better than Doncic, Jokic, SGA and can win multiple titles in future.

Europe, World nowadays can compete with USA talent and even beat them.(because now is really global sport and everyone wants to play in NBA)

ATM Ant is not better than Jokic, Doncic, SGA. But he might get there if he will continue to improve. Explosiveness is nasty, but not sure he has as much fundamentals as Jordan had. We'll see. Now he's surely not better.

Did you see stats against Denver and first game against Phoenix?(He is best player on all stats- points, assists, steals, blocks)

His regular season stats are not very good but his playoff stats are more greater and he can compete and win them- with Jokic, Doncic, SGA already- despite being 21 year old and now 22 year old!

When player is better in playoffs than in regular season(this is greatness)!

Given the rise of players like Jokic, Doncic, and SGA who excel through their basketball IQ and fundamental skills rather than pure athleticism, do you believe the NBA is trending towards a greater emphasis on cerebral, well-rounded play over athletic monopoly go, iso-dominant styles?
