News Study: American Students Lead the World in Basketball I.Q.

A study conducted by the American Institute of Research found that American students, even those who live in traditionally academically low-performing states likes Alabama and South Carolina, lead the world in basketball I.Q.

"While U.S. students continue to trail far behind the rest of the world in science and math scores, they are head and shoulders above international students when it comes to understanding the need to spread the floor and hit the offensive boards," said the study's author, Thomas LeMais.

The results are a positive sign for the United States, which had seen significant gains made on its position as the world leader in basketball I.Q. in recent years by the likes of Argentina, Spain and even Puerto Rico.

The new stronghold is attributed to a return to basketball fundamentals in the lower levels of the sport — most 12-and-under youth programs had focused on dunking in the '90s — and a president in the White House who is a proponent of the sport.

One time I was with a bunch of my friends at the track. One runner went past us – he was wearing nothing but shorts, which were so tight on him that you could see everything about his crotch except the color of it. I nicknamed him the Arc, like Indiana Jones – if you look at it, your face will melt off. Or at least we all felt like it.

I was at the gym recently, and noticed a guy who constantly comes in, lifts at low weights, and screams incredibly loud while doing so. Anyways I was at the gym and he was attempting to shoulder shrug 50lbs when he spiked the weights off the ground and screamed: "I GO HARD IN THE PAINT!" The best part? He was a white, middle-aged, not listening to music, and being completely serious.
