NBA Basketball IQ: Level 1 vs Level 100

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
These are the smartest NBA moments from level 1 to level 100 And at level 1, Nate Robinson knows you can't out-Bron Bron. Instead, you have to out-smart Bron...

.Marry Gray out, and they wouldn't put Bubba back in.

Whoever says you have to be tall to win jump balls is trippin. But for number 5, Avery Bradley isn't trippin. He's simply tying his shoes, or at least that's what he wants us to think. All night.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:25)
12 of 19 from the field in a steal. Three on one.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:29)
Lobs it up for Hollins, and Hollins slams it home. And here come the Celtics, who cut it to four.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:36)
There are players who get paid millions a year to play basketball, and then there's Avery Bradley, who gets paid millions to tie his shoes. However, it doesn't compare to the time John Morant went fishing for Ben Simmons.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:48)
Our teams allow the Griffys to waste time on the club by not attacking the basketball.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:55)
And now Simmons crowds Morant, and Simmons is fouled out of the game. But Morant basically baited him into it.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:05)
Damn, I gotta get my hands on some of that bait. However, that's the least of my concern right now, because at level 70, one player missed a free throw on purpose, and at an even later level, one player forced overtime by elbowing a coach. But before we get to those levels, it's the time Chris Paul took one for the team. It was February 10th, 2016, Celtics vs Clippers. And with only two minutes left in overtime, the Celtics devised a genius plan, sending DeAndre Jordan to the line. Because when you shoot under 48% from the line, you're practically a walking brick. However, there was only one thing in the way, literally, there's a saying that goes, you're only as strong as your weakest link. But if Chris Paul is on my team, I bet they're different.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:43)
DeAndre Jordan was shooting under 20

**SPEAKER_7** (1:46)
14%, folks.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:48)
You know what Derebko just did? He ran full speed to try and foul DeAndre Jordan and he ran over Chris Paul.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:55)
However, if I'm the Los Angeles Lakers, that's a pretty good thing, since sometimes the weakest link is secretly fooling everyone.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:03)
Even see him on Friday night. Here we go, second half action. Lakers with the same five on the floor that we saw starting the game.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:20)
McGee thought if soccer players can benefit from faking injuries, then so can I. No offense, Neymar. And John Moran also knows a thing or two about faking it, because one time he pretended to go AFK, just so this would happen.

**SPEAKER_8** (2:31)
Game, big wave for Norwell.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:34)
What a steal.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:35)
What not something, here comes Moran.
He'll fly it and get it to go. Taking it right down the boulevard, and he ties the game at 58

**SPEAKER_6** (2:43)
The third steal of the evening.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:46)
Whether it's tying your shoe, an injury, or going AFK, sometimes you gotta fake it until you make it. Yet, there's nothing better at sending mixed signals than your face. Just ask Luka Dacic.

**SPEAKER_10** (2:57)
Nothing shocks me about this game.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:11)
Lucas Smugface says it all, the Mavericks got got. On the other hand, Ben Simmons isn't deceiving anyone with his passes, cause let's face it, even fans can smell his passes from a mile away. They are the most predictable part of his game, but what if they weren't?

**SPEAKER_4** (3:26)
Houston and Golden State cannot wait.
And Simmons again! Right handed jam, the C's parted for Ben Simmons.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:37)
Well, I'll be damned. Simmons put on his big boy pants and slammed that one down with authority. However, what if you didn't have to play tricks or be smart? What if you just were smart? See, Kobe knows all about that. And lucky for us, he isn't afraid to share his knowledge.

**Kobe Bryant** (3:52)
I play to my opponent's weaknesses, obviously. So your left hand, so I'll probably sit inside here and get this hand inside here. You know, that's a little trick for the weekend warriors over there. You like tricks. Once this guy makes his move with his right hand, what you try to do is you try to pin this arm. See this arm right here? It's a strong hand.
You pin this, because you know he's inevitably going to come back to a strong hand. Right? So now when he makes that move, now he can't come back. Watch. Try to cross over.
