I was not a Jason Kidd fan until he went to the nets and he changed my outlook on basketball. He dominated the game by just passing, it was unreal. Those nets teams weren’t that good and he made them into finals contenders. He was robbed out of a mvp.

I'd say you can argue that he deserved that 2003 mvp at the very least. That being said, the one he lost it to was arguably the best player in the league at the time and also won the championship that same year. So that's the reason why I don't think he was robbed because Duncan I believe deserved it more that season.

Idk why but recently I’ve been re-watching the 2003 nba finals. Kidd was amazing at basically everything but scoring, and more specifically shooting on a consistent basis. It’s incredible he led that Nets team to back to back finals even in a weaker Eastern Conference. The amount of open shots he sets up for his teammates in that series and they miss is infuriating, but hey at least he got a ring in 2011.

You can have all the potential in the world and the greatest work ethic ever seen in the history of humanity if you work on the wrong aspect of your game and physicality it's all gonna go to waste. That's why it is important for a player's developpement to have great coaches and trainers that will see what abilities and physical tools you need to maximize in order to be the best player you can be. And I think it was particularly important in the developpement of a player like Giannis who had less experience with Basketball than most when entering the NBA. And I think it's not selling anybody short to say it because everybody needs a helping hand at some point and everybody who pretends to be a 100% self made man is 100% a liar

9 is too low especially considering that he’s probably the best defensive player out of the 8 you have ahead of him unless you had GP ahead of him. Kidd is number 5 in my opinion. Steph is the only current gen guy I’ll put ahead of him and in the 90s and 00s I think he was the best point guard of that generation edging out nash and GP. Cp3, Westbrook, kyrie and dame aren’t better than Kidd I’m sorry they’ll are really good but none of those players as the guy lead their teams to back to back finals or was the defender that Kidd was. I don’t know what hell Jerry west or A.I would be considered but I’m putting them both at the 2. My top 5 would be Magic Steph Isiah Big 0 KIdd (Arguably stockton but I like Kidd better)

When has Curry for any season has averaged more than 10 assists per game (like other all time great point guards) to be considered a true PG? He mostly attempts to shoot/score instead of making plays for his teammates. I can put him as top 3-5 shooting guard, but not as point guard. Even LeBron James who's a small forward (close to point-forward) is averaging more assists than Curry for his career lol. And no way I would take Steve Nash over Jason Kidd, Kidd is by far the better defender and can transform a team into a legit contender, Nash can do the same, but playing only offense doesn't help in the post season and btw Jason Kidd went to a terrible team and they went back-to-back to the NBA Finals.

@@dysfunctional4912 lmao there’s so many problems with the bullshit you just typed. Curry is absolutely a point guard, and he’s second to none as a playmaker in nba history. His gravity as a shooter creates so many opportunities for his teammates, that he doesn’t need to get empty assists. That’s why his teams win. He’s absolutely a point guard, and he’s the best or second best of all time. Second, statistically, Nash wipes the floor with Jason Kidd. He is a better scorer, passer, playmaker, ball handler, has better court vision, and is so much more efficient that it makes Kidd look like a liability on offense. Jason Kidd made two finals in a row because he played in the weakest East of all time. Conversely, Nash played in the strongest West of all time. Kidd would not have the same success if he played in the West during his prime, that’s a fact. And that Dallas ring might as well not even count, he was carried to a ring in an upset that shouldn’t have happened. Jason Kidd is so inefficient that it’s embarrassing. His FG% and TS% in the regular season and playoffs is lower than Russell Westbrook’s 🤣

The things I've always loved about Kidd the most, especially later into his career was that he was a great passer and really good defender. So many players these days build their starpower solely on iso offense skills and fans mostly don't give a shit about defense in a player, but honestly he was a real great asset to have because of those two qualities alone. He didn't have to be the best shooter even though I think a good PG should have a strong jumpshot, but the facilitating and defense themselves were what made him so good in my eyes.

I really wish Kidd was younger on the Knicks team he was on. He was damn near 40, couldn't play many minutes anymore but when he got to that Carmelo Anthony Knicks team his leadership and facilitating when he was in the game literally changed the whole team, it was amazing. If only he was younger he couldve helped Melo get a ring in New York. That's how good he was, that even when he was way too old to be playing anymore he was not the best or most talented anymore but he was still the most valuable player on a team, the glue that brought it all together and made a team everyone thought clunky or put together wrong, Amare,and Melo would never work or whatever else, he was the point guard who was finally able to make it operate smoothly and look like it could actually become a success, just a shame he was too old at that point to give enough minutes to will his body to do what his mind was still capable of and had to deal with constant injuries and limited minutes. Kidd is definitely a top 5 point guard ever in my book. What he did with the Nets was incredible too bringing them to the finals, the same as AI bringing the garbage Philly team he had to the finals but i domt see peopke credit Kidd like they do AI for willing a bad team all the way. Then finally with the Mavs him and Dirk was what each other had needed the whole time to get some rings.

I was watching Kidd since his freshman year at Cal. It’s a weird list but my favorite point guards growing up were: 1. Magic 2. Kidd 3. Marbury 4. Nash 5. J Will

To me, he's easily a top 5 Point Guard, possibly the most complete true Point Guard to ever play. He was one of the best parameter defenders in his era, not just smart like CP3, he was also oversized for his position. He was never a skilled scorer but his playmaking and basketball IQ was up there with Magic and Stockton. He is one of those players the statlines just don't do justice.

J Kidd was incredible in his prime. He was a true pass first PG who was san incredible defender. He was the entire package by the time he got to the NBA. He knew how to pass and initiate the offense like a master. He could defend better than almost anyone at his position almost every year of his career. He played off ball very well. He wasn't a great shooter but still was a good enough scorer to contribute points on top of the rest. It's kinda funny how he didn't get a ring until his career was on the downswing but he deserved one with his talent. And I'm glad GPI though shut him down, became his mentor and great friend not long after. GPI wasn't an amazing passer like Kidd was but he was an even better defender who knew how to adapt to the game around him better than any point guard ever (Except maybe Stockton). Kidd is #2 behind stockton in all time assists and steals.

I always considered Kidd a big disappointment. During the 3 headed monster of fail era in Dallas, (Jackson/Mashburn/Kidd,) he was billed as this transcending game changing megastar but could never lead teams to the next level. good depth piece but by no means is he even close to the top 20 all time.

They were all good until they got hurt. I remember Jim Jackson was averaging about 26 per game in Kidd’s rookie season then broke his ankle against Washington and was never the same. Mashburn got hurt the next year. Then they hired Jim Clemons who was a horrible pick to coach Kidd.

I'm a Nets fan because of him. And to me, a PG's attributes should be pass-1st and make teammates better. And that's because of him as well. He might not be a good human being, but he was definitely an amazing player.
