NBA player's high school GPA's

[RachlNicholsazz]

Jordan 4.5
Devin Booker 4.0
Kobe 3.9
Westbrook 3.9
Paul George 3.5
Lebron 2.8
Steph 2.5
Ben Simmons 1.8

Sad to see Steph and Bran go join Ben Simmons to sit in the dark corner of the room

The fact that you looked this up to troll with is worse than anyone who will take the bait.

[Neal Romer]

Grades dont mean shit. What if Westbrook was in a special needs class? Probably easy to get straight A's.

Meanwhile LeGenius was taking only advanced coursework, AND his teachers discriminated against him out of jealousy.

Steph and Ben get by on pretty boy looks, I was the same in high school.

Of course I am also highly intelligent, but my pretty boy looks went away at around 20 years old and I've been an ogre since then.

People think Westbrook is stupid because of the way he plays basketball. Not saying that I know him to be a genius but if you have been watching a lot of ball you should realize that almost every player builds their game around their talents. You do what you're good at. By some combination of nature, exercise and whatever else Westbrook's talent was having an incredible amount of athletic ability. It would have been wise to develop a jumper but he got locked into flawed mechanics at a young age and once you're mechanics are hard-wired rebuilding them is tough and the effort could make everything worse like what happened to Markelle Fultz. So instead he road his athletic talents to an MVP award, max contracts and a Hall of Fame career. He could have been better but he's going to come out of his career with a net worth in the hundreds of millions and without any legal problems off the court. And businesses that could grow his wealth. So as an overall human being, is he stupid? I doubt that.

Westbrook might be smart, but he lacks emotional intelligence considering he is always lashing out at fans and some reporters in the past, it might also explain the way he plays.

That's crazy how smart Westbrook was. Outside of basketball he might be smarter than somebody like Larry Bird.

Yes. This.

He's quick to snap like a female. Which affects his decision making. I feel like a lot of his athetic ability is just pure rage.

But overall hes very cognitively capable.

Or have you thought that he knows what power he has and how to use it? Some jerk in the crowd says something to him that crossed the line, he doesn't like it, and he gets them tossed. You may find it petty but that's not necessarily being stupid. Important part of emotional intelligence is the ability to manage your own emotions. Do we see him getting pissed off? Yes. But do we see him hit any of the fans he gets thrown out? No. I may be forgetting something but I can't recall Westbrook ever getting into a real fight. Given that players emotions run high in competition managing to stay out of fights means he's good enough in this regard.

[Neal Romer]

Where is everyone sourcing this information about Westbrook's intelligence from?


His grades? :roll:

It would have happened if it wasn't for security.

But I can understand him in that situation, lots of people would have ran up and smacked that fan, but the phone incident to me is the most hilarious.

[Real Men Wear Green]

He's definitely losing his chill but he's not fighting. If he had truly went nuts security would be pulling him off the fan instead of restraining him. With a career well over a thousand games long if that's the worst behavior we see from him then his self-control is good enough. This is a guy with no off court scandals. If he was really nuts there would be more and worse stuff than this.

What's the highest GPA you can get?

[jlip]

I would take any star athlete's reported GPA with less than a grain of salt

[j3lademaster]

What's the highest GPA you can get?Depends on how many honors and ap classes you take. This is all weighted I assume since MJ got a 4.5. Colleges will unweigh your grades, so the highest is 4.0
