You said his IQ is higher than his worldly knowledge. Just stating his worldly knowledge is probably pretty high having seen a few different versions of the world in his short time on it.

Some of the less learned can be brilliant on the basketball court. I'm going to guess that his IQ is higher than his worldly knowledge. A capable brain that isn't fed doesn't diminish the capability.
The kid was raised as a reality tv star and has traveled further and been exposed to more cultures than you can probably name.
I'm telling you he has innate intelligence, but he's not a scholar. I'm not sure what your point is.
Am I the only one here who wants Cool to take the bet to see if he can name more cultures than lamelo has been exposed to? Cool, I’ll take half the action.

I saw on the TwitterX machine that Ant and Melo are organizing a team training session in France.
LeBron better get his passport ready.

Makes sense, while most of the guys these past few years have stayed in Minneapolis for training most of the summer, Rudy has always gone home to France. Bring the team to him, and build that chemistry between Ball and Rudy, to get used to his catching radius.

I love it. I love that Ant asserting his leadership - making LaMello feel welcome, organizing a trip to France to practice with Rudy.

A pretty good video. You can see the LaMello’s personality comes through when he’s on the court or in an informal setting. He’s a totally different person than the one we saw on the stage at the introductory press conference. He’s engaging and yes, he’s smart.
