Michael Jordan, 154
Michael Jordan is not just a legendary player in the NBA, but he is also a brilliant thinker. When he was picked by the NBA, he was forced to leave the University of North Carolina because of his projected IQ score of 154. In 1986, he returned to school and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in geography. Despite being a professional basketball player, Jordan placed a high importance on education. ‘Talent wins games, but collaboration and intelligence win championships,’ he famously observed about sports.
