You can tell he's nervous which really shows how humble he is, awesome player!

[@TheRealAndiBar]

[@deeznut9734]

He beat up his wife multiple times

[@messiahben7257]

[@krispringlez8292]

Man, just like his nba game, his speech was all facilitation, making others look good

[@markjackson6431]

“i’m done, i just wanted to enjoy this moment”

[@TheTERMlNAT0R]

Mark Jackson that was a good one. Kid is the man

[@TJ-nq5nt]

Oakland his had 2 of the best point guards go into the Hall of Fame. Jason Kidd and Gary Payton Damian Lillard will be the next to go in the hall of fame from Oakland.

[@user-xy2fj3kc7k]

[@angeloralpian]

Congrats jason kidd. One of the best baskeball players to ever play the game👍

[@TJ-nq5nt]

angelo ralp ian rendon Oakland his had 2 of the best point guards go into the Hall of Fame. Jason Kidd and Gary Payton Damian Lillard will be the next to go in the hall of fame from Oakland.

[@angeloralpian]

GP is another favorite of mine in the PG position, but i grew up watching j-kidd. For me, he is the best PG ever ... Sending my respect and appreciation for Oakland brand of basketball brother👍🏀

[@renegzz9792]

Jason Kidd, Payton, and Stockton, the best PG of the 90s

[@brandonfurtado2]

I grew up with those great Nets teams....man, I still get chills when I think of the Kidd-Carter combo. Well deserved Jason, thank you for being an awesome person and most likely the best player in Nets history!

[@nets4life377]

Well debateable with Dr.J but you could put either.

[@brandonfurtado2]

Nets 4life I agree to a degree but Dr.J, as much as I love him, wasn't there long enough and the team ended up moving so I'd still put Kidd slightly ahead. Also, I have a cool story. When I was little, about 7 or so, my uncle's brother owned a body shop in Nutley and worked on Jason's Cadillac Escalade. I didn't know till I stopped by to visit the shop afterwards.

[@sandernista6499]

KG is the best player to ever player for the nets 😂😂😂

[@davidlemos7546]

Awesome person? He's a great player no doubt but he is a prick as a person

[@serbonkers4130]

Brandon Furtado yeah man. That nets team is fun.

[@darelleramos00]

"I'm done. I just want to enjoy this moment"

[@markjackson6431]

Kristian Darelle Ramos i love this quote so much

[@MrGenexxx]

It's already an all time classic moment!

[@FlaatBeat]

He was my absolute favorite player when i was a teenager. Thanks Jason, your passing game will be so missed

[@minchutong9296]

probably the most intelligent player of my childhood (his days in Suns and Nets is incredible) Congrats Jason!..

[@chinchintabiru121]

What a humble, humble guy! Congrats, Kidd!

[@rollinlxwade7982]

The kidd that did .. congrats 🍾🎊🎉 bro . You deserve it..

[@brandonethereal1084]

Im getting old... still have Jason Kidd's Topps Rookie card. Congrats Kidd

[@frankbeans5921]

I remember as a kid I had Jason's rookie card as well but I traded it for someone i can't even remember now haha :(

[@timdane6132]

me too man, I have all rookie and sophomore card of JK and Grant Hill, from upperdeck, Tops and flare. Same with KJ rookie yr and 1995 cards of MJ. don't know how much would that cost now.

[@kwanwonchung]

Mark Cuban looked like he was about tor cry

[@urwrstntmre]

Lol yeah, looked like he was in love

[@JesusMorales-er4cy]

kwang-won Chung his only chip was with kid 😭

[@jokreyes]

Didn't he say he would never retire Kidd's jersey in Dallas. He was bitter of hime going to NY.

[@thirtyacres7504]

Mark loves his players.

[@andrewhilton440]

He was crying because he thought Jason Kidd forgot to mention him 😂😂😂😂

[@tarrenceconyers6548]

Jason Kidd was an extraordinarily gifted passer with a tenacious nack for passing guys open.

[@matiaskocner5905]

Very very humble Man. One of the greatest.

[@Suprarikk]

One of the greatest closing comment/moments ever !

[@WilliamBenedict]

Thank you Jason. You are an amazing person. Love always.

[@markjackson6431]

Mr. Triple Double

[@Mpr_edotti]

Very humbled human being

[@givelobster6750]

I love the speech man.. great athlete, great man!;)

[@jayanthjaa]

The end of the speech with few seconds of silence was like enjoying the moment and getting best out of it.

[@paoloangelino24]

Jason Kidd with the assists even in his speech :D

[@alexcochrane209]

Great true 2 way PG. He was the "enemy". But I always enjoyed watching and trying to emulate his game. Congrats Kidd well deserved.

[@tokwa2003]

9:30 onwards - the best part of his speech

[@ronaldjamesdelafuente3705]

Grew up 20 minutes away from the Meadowlands watching J-Kidd lead our franchise to two Finals and several division titles! Congrats to the best player in the history of our franchise!!

[@archieandrew9317]

Jason will always be a kidd☺️

[@Doblido]

my favorite players for 16 years :)

[@SteveFromLongIsland]

Great speech👌🏻 u deserve it Kidd

[@simba4809]

He was one jumpshot away from being a top 15 player of all time

[@mikeandmars2345]

great📌📌📌📌💯💯

[@makis7383]

Despite all that he's still top 50 ever Without question

[@simba4809]

@@makis7383 he's so good he couldn't shoot a lick and advanced stats still love him lmao

[@eddyededwin]

top 5 point guard ever

[@365Cani]

Yet he was 3rd in most three pointers ever made behind Ray Allen and Reggie Miller.

[@raiyan]

JKidd will always be my 2nd fav pg of all time next to Magic

[@chrisisslick]

He was Mini Magic 👍🏻

[@rogelioliera2295]

Wow I so waiting for more am done just want to enjoy the moment best end ever el fin best laugh of all time

[@lakaybadboy8083]

Love watching J Kidd playing ball I’m done I just wanna enjoy this moment 🤣🤙🤣

[@maralorca6518]

What a ride. This is what the Kidd did! #HOF

[@animulovers3881]

The king of pass

[@DEEDUBZ]

Jason Kidd- The no look which means he's already looked

[@Villasttp]

LEGEND

[@thirtyacres7504]

Those dimes, man. Grant Hill will always be my favorite NBA player of all-time, but Jason Kidd. I tried to emulate his court vision. Steve Nash, too. And Ray Allen's pure shooting form, and the wicked discipline and mastery to the craft.

[@feifeijay]

really grant hill? i did buy a grant hill basketball when i was kid tho

[@timdane6132]

You're truly a 90s Kidd.

[@djdunbargrapes1186]

Congrats to the homie. From St. Pascal's to Slam N Jam to St Joe's. You worked hard and I still own you in the "3 for Me" contest.....

[@kimurico1]

Maybe the best passer since Magic. Some may say even better. It's like watching an MJ highlights reel, a J Kidd best assists video could go on for ever.

[@leslieyao3073]

Jason Kidd and Vince Carter, best combo on TV

[@andrewhilton440]

Mark Cuban was gonna cry in the car if Jason Kidd didn't mention him 😂😂😂😂😂😂 3:35

[@KniGht1st1]

He only looked his notes once entire speech, and it was at the end to see if he missed anything. Damn.

[@mjmcalister]

Kidd was awesome. Everything you want in a point guard. He may not have been the best ever but he'd be in my all time starting 5

[@ihercr5333]

Michael Jordan, Dražen Petrović and Jason Kidd who's number I wore when I used to play are my 3 favorite players of all time. Kidd my favorite playmaker of course.

[@mamamayhave]

Awesome!

[@rjbullen8932]

He's the best

[@isijr7899]

I feel old now lol Congrats JKidd

[@NmberOneNetsFan]

E C I feel u. Same here

[@PlayNice123]

[@tomchandler6586]

Unbelievable talent!!!

[@MaCreezy]

[@kikoe8650]

Damn jason kidd of the nj nets is my fave and i dont even play 1

[@alpacamahbags4625]

He made the New Jersey Nets a highlight reel back in the early 2000s . He's basically a 6 ft 4 Magic Johnson.

[@changkwangoh]

J Kidd!

[@millivanilli4316]

I can use my fingers to count how many times he blinked

[@willharper7888]

Lil MAGIC!!! #👏👏👏👌

[@moeanthony9308]

Were Jimmy Jackson and Toni Braxton in the audience?

[@bowhunter928]

the true point guard personified

[@jknumber5138]

Saturday morning NBA Inside Stuff had all the great JK highlights bacc in the day. I remember Ahmad Rashad saying 16 boards 16 assist & 21 points...do it "J"{Jason Kidd is at it again folks!!}{shouts 2 my bro for recording those episodes on VHS}. I remember spending my church money on Jason Kidd basketball cards....over there by Roccaway avenue train station in the Ville{shout 2 my Son, Boo}. Shouts to that store Smart Kids on Pitkin avenue{They had all the Basketball cards in the world}I was like a Kid in a candy store over there. Shouts 2 all my people in the 90z/Ville calling me "JK" bacc in the day. I'll never forget sitting at the wrong lunch table in school{94-95 PS183 Omar Epps mother Ms. Epps was our Principle}and this kid gave me a Jason Kidd card because he knew I love bball. It was a Jason Kidd Pac 10 card{the cartoon one} I NEVER LOOKED BACC!

[@xbass84]

Still the best

[@israelfranciscocruz7675]

es de los mejores es un grande del baloncesto

[@micoangelopugoy7380]

I'll work hard and give all the tears, sweat , blood, time I have. To play at the biggest stage and be HOF someday. I swear it. I know I can do it.

[@shridharrawat766]

POINT GOD

[@deeprhymes]

J Kidd a cool brother

[@JoshuaFrick3]

"No, You're a Good Kidd!"

[@eedricdude]

You can see that he is so unselfish that his whole speech is about giving thanks to others.

[@politicasusual9417]

Top 5 PG of all time

[@tsizzle3338]

Cuban was gonna cry

[@phucnguyen0110]

Did I just see Kyrie sit next to Dirk???

[@aslanwashere6355]

Dang he grew his hair a lot

[@phucnguyen0110]

lol

[@akosiyet1221]

is he reading his speech?

[@johnnyl9003]

omg, Jason Kidd staring at the camera reminds me of Magic Johnson!!! Will he have 72 teeth eventually?

[@arpeemac]

kudos to the guy who thought of inducting both grant hill and jason kidd in the same year.

[@nickvin7447]

Top 3 PG of all time, not debatable.

[@jknumber5138]

2nd(right behind Magic). Kidd is still #1 on my favorite list

[@adeunadeniyi357]

The ending tho had me dead 😂😂

[@reneaguilar1000]

He gave a shout out to the knicks dang

[@l.r9655]

The goat pg

[@davidmartinezfranco7888]

Where is he looking at?

[@emiliospowerballer1441]

didnt blink for 10 minutes how could he not

[@AsadLife27]

That teleprompter though

[@Tim8tei]

I wish he didn't use one. There have been HOF speeches where people prepared so much but they stopped using their notes (didn't even use a prompter) and just spoke from the heart. He could have done the same, just use a few key notes and key moments from your career, people and moments you want to talk about. Would have felt so much better.

[@deboman81]

Teleprompter game sick with it lol

[@Mok3sp33d]

Public speaking probably ain't his thing. He did all the non scripted talking he needed to do on the basketball court!

[@andywhsu]

at least blink when you are reading the teleprompter Jkidd congratulations

[@jrkoka2617]

He didn't play with hall of famers his entire career like Magic, Stockton did. He played next to Kenyon Martin and went to back to back finals. Lost to 2 dynasties in the Spurs and Lakers (Shaq & Kobe). He is the greatest PG ever.

[@markbrinton6790]

No, Magic and Stockton and Zeke are ahead of him.

[@eddyededwin]

mark brinton and payton

[@markbrinton6790]

@@eddyededwin that's a tough one, but I LOVE GP, he's in the conversation for sure. Stellar at both ends of the court.
