Steph Curry claims LeBron and one more player are the smartest in NBA

Many intelligent players are in the NBA league, but Chris Paul and LeBron James might be above everyone else.

At least, that's what legendary Stephen Curry thinks. The two-time NBA MVP belive that Paul and James stand out due to their basketball IQ.

"The smartest player on the floor? Between Chris Paul and LeBron James. It's about how they play, talk to their teammates in the game, and how they orchestrate the attack and control the game. LeBron is the best at controlling the tempo. He knows how to do it best," Curry said.

Chris Paul is considered one of the best organizers of the game in history, so it is clear why he was included.

"Paul is a player who knows what to do every possession to get the best possible outcome. At the peak of his career, it was unreal, he could score a basket, set up a dunk or find an open shooter. He knew everything, the timing was always great, all those things," Steph said.
