It would be more like "Basketball is about being in very good physical shape", which makes more sense.

IQ (or more precisely the g factor) correlates not only with math but also with language skills and music[1].

Then why would the g factor also apply to animals as stated on the Wikipedia page? You don't see that many doing mathematics.
