In this short monologue, Draymond Green (the speaker) explains his concept of elite basketball IQ as the ability to "see the picture before it even develops," meaning a player can anticipate and process the unfolding play before it fully materializes. He claims that fewer than 20 NBA players possess this level of foresight, naming Chris Paul, LeBron James, and Rajon Rondo as examples. Throughout, he repeatedly emphasizes his utmost respect for Draymond Green's own basketball IQ, declaring him one of the GOATs in this domain and stating that any discussion of IQ inevitably brings up his name.

Can you process those pictures before the picture even come, become clear? That's taking IQ to another level. And by the way, there's not many guys in the NBA, and when I say many, you're talking probably, I'ma be generous and say less than 20, that can see the picture before it even develops. That's a whole nother level of IQ. Chris Paul can see that. LeBron James can see that. I always go back to Draymond Green. Rondo. I know Rondo is retired, but When it comes to basketball IQ, I've never in my life got an opportunity to talk the game of basketball with Draymond Green. I have the utmost respect for Draymond Green's basketball IQ. So anytime I mention IQ, you always hear me bring up Draymond Green, and I always will. Because to me, when it comes to IQ in the game of basketball, he is one of the GOATs.
