Jason Kidd - The Magician

[@Richard__Cranium]

The way Kidd adapted his game as he got older and further into his career is incredible. Going from a pretty poor outside shooter to a 3pt specialist is a testament to his versatility, love for the game, and willingness to do anything to help his team win. Easily one of the top 10 best PGs of all time.

[@123pajaron]

J Kidd will always be my favorite basketball player. I'm so happy he finally got that elusive championship ring he was wanting since carrying the Nets to two straight Finals appearances. He really deserved that ring

[@cliffordsantillan6046]

Kidd's one of the Legends.

[@rahilarora3792]

Word!

[@youtuber3328]

he was a star + on 04-27-97 his suns lost 122-78 to the sonics + he had just 2 points to go with 8 assists

[@bobjames1992]

Scorers get all the attention but I've always like Jason Kidd because he is the perfect example of what you can do to help your team win without scoring.

[@angeloapsay4106]

Great way to describe how you can be the greatest without scoring.

[@Pagz12]

rod man is the best example

[@dezmc4747]

A true point guard.

[@timothyqueen372]

Almost like John Stockton?

[@surferguy1974]

Steve Nash is also another example as well!

[@paulofreire7520]

Damn those 2011 memories, makes me cry! damn I miss that lineup... that year, its really the Dallas Mavericks' year!!! the greatest lineup Dallas Mavericks ever had!

Yes it's a shame he went the moneyball route. Wins once after many years, believes in it enough to blow up the team.

Check what they are gonna do this year.

[@MyYTwatcher]

Kidd and Hill hugging. Both so rare talents. But one remained healthy whilest the other was ruined by injuries. Both were my heroes.

[@lilog2179]

MyYTwatcher and both go into the *HOF* together

[@robertoamarillas]

The best combo of finesse and efficiency of all times, Mr. Jason Kidd. He dragged a so so team, with not outside shooters to the finals TWICE, he was that great This i why some idiots just bring the rings card when comparing genius like Kidd or Nash, i do know Kidd had one with the mavericks, but, he in my eyes was just amazing to watch.

[@davidcarter6659]

Instant improvement to any team he is added to. He makes everyone around him better. Just look at his international record for proof.

[@Zendel93]

I love LeBron, but I'm fucking glad that Kidd has his ring.

For me, he will always be THE BEST PG. Period! Incredible assists, great defense!

[@1313fidel]

Pure art, my favorite pg of all time.

[@lgtwzrd]

I didn't follow much of the NBA while he was an active player, but I see his brilliance in coaching the Bucks this season. Took them from last place to the playoffs in one season. And that in just his second year coaching. I'm very excited about what he will do with the young Bucks. Next season will be a joy to watch.

[@ferdyferdinand8566]

5:47 made me speechless, you see that eye contact??! Yao Ming has failed to anticipated that sick alley. J-Kidd should have been an MVP on 2002/2003 when he still with the Nets back then

[@AndyGillis6273]

another incredible Tribute video. Jason Kidd is my favorite PG of all-time!! nice job taking us thru Kidd's all-pro career.

[@marquiss1]

Deserves a ring no less...Could not bring my Nets a ring but he took that team to heights never imagined with two shots at the NBA Finals...Gotta love him...Hope he does well at the Bucks...

[@Pandabearmadness]

i always loved jason kidd and im not a mavs fan but i really enjoyed cheering them on in the playoffs really happy he finally got a ring

[@Shakester71]

I had the privilege of watching this guy since he was 16 years old when he was playing the Pro-Am at Kezar in San Francisco. I was a sophomore at Cal when people started talking about how Kidd maybe coming to Berkeley, but felt it was a long shot with big time programs like Arizona and Kansas recruiting him. When he announced that he'll be attending Cal, everyone went nuts. It was a week long party. The guy made Lamond Murray a lottery pick. If Jason Kidd isn't a first ballot hall of fame, I'll be upset.

[@fineproject433]

he still be my fav point guard. n i think nobody can replace him

[@crowofjudgment9012]

Albertus Alves Stephen Curry is better

[@tranthaiduong1210]

Albertus Alves wait till your Curry moves to Nets or Sixers and brings them to the final before compare him with Kidd.

[@bryansphere6359]

Some players were capable of seeing into the Matrix. Kidd was one of them!

[@molach12345]

Jason Williams was flashier. Doesn't make him a better point guard though.

One beautiful circle closed when Kidd got his championship ring and raised the trophy up as a Dallas Maverick! Coming back to his original team and winning that trophy there...That's one heck of a beautiful story! Jason Kidd sure was a magician and a basketball genius as a player, his game and stats show that. Now he is continueing that work as a coach. We shall see if he also becomes a champion as a coach. I certainly hope so!

[@Bigbaby950]

Jason Kidd was a definition of a great true point guard. Fun to watch

[@Hokutoshogun]

Quite possibly one of the best 3 passers to have played, along with John Stockton and Magic Johnson. EDIT: You don't have to be flashy to be a great passer. However, you DO need to have impeccable timing.

[@Amjbmcg]

Magic is flashy, Nash is better than all.

[@Hokutoshogun]

Who said Magic wasn't flashy? Nash better than all...according to whom?

[@himmothyyy]

it either Stockton or Nash

[@Acoustxc]

Hokutoshogun Stockton, Kidd and Nash top 3 passing point guards of all time, stats do not lie either

[@Hokutoshogun]

***** So because Nash got 200 more assist than Magic, he's better? You're right in one case, numbers don't lie. Steve Nash played 18 seasons to Magic's 13 (1 season was 32 games, and that was after 4 years of retirement). He played 5 more years, and racked up only 200 more assists. At least do some research before making outlandish claims.

[@deadshot2273]

[@Djego2001]

He set-up plays like ... WOW !

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

Similar to Pippen in some regards, Kidd is underrated as hell. Damn fine elite player who got overlooked. For me, he is more complete than Stockton, has a championship, some crazy stats and lead a averageteam with one of the worst coaches of all times to the finals TWICE. The guy is incredible, only Magic and Oscar could be considered better PG than him. And some people even dare to compare him with Nash, lol

[@carlo09kaloy]

im tired of that comparison too. haha. some noob fans always pick nash over kidd. when the retired greats like barkley or reggie or isiah always picks kidd over nash. kidd my favorite player is really so underrated.

[@carlo09kaloy]

+John Lewis i agree nash is a better shooter. but that doeant mean he ia the better pg tho.

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

Its funny to consider Nash a better shooter if Kidd actually holds a record regarding 3pt fg made. Nash is indeed the better shooter, but Kidd had the longevity and consistency. Nash had those amazing years in Phoenix, but you can consider his prime as only 4, maybe 5 seasons. That is not enough. Take Chris Paul for example: the guy is the best PG in the league since his sophomore year, it's absurd how consistent he is in the golden era of the position. Nash didn't had this kind of consistency, far from it. Great PG, I love his tenacity and dedication, but Nash is not elite as some people think.

[@fredsavage3565]

+Rafael Teles I agree with the whole Nash only having 4-5 prime years, He kinda sucked in Dallas low key.

[@HypeDailey]

+Rafael Teles he still elite though. You can't take that from him. Injuries get the best of a lot of players.

[@nonplayerzealot4]

I'm a Magic/Laker fan. I've got a 15 min Magic compilation with 1.4 mill views that people seem to like, so you can infer from that that I love my 1s with supreme passing games. Kidd was the ONLY PG since Magic that I would say was on the same echelon in terms of instinct, intuition, court vision, touch/finesse on passes, ability to convert fast breaks, ability to find openings in bogged down half court sets, and snap decision making brilliance that allowed him to create a 2nd play if the 1st play didn't work. I still think Bird and Magic are the two closest approximates to each other, as convenient as that may be, but, Kidd is the only 1 who gave me flashbacks to Earv. Brilliant mind above all else. To pass like that you kinda need to be a hoops genius in the first place, but he was one.

[@coltsrule5150]

Excellent vision on the court, there'd be times you'd swear he had eyes in the back of his head. Dominated Jammal Tinsley against the Pacers one year in the playoffs. Looked over to Larry Bird on the sideline when he was coaching and said, I got this guy in my pocket. Ugliest shot you would ever see, but it went in consistently.

[@hyang5995]

Solid passing. An artist.

[@flipit27]

He will never get old.

As a nets fan. For a dude who wasn’t a shooter or scorer. Dude was so clutch. It’s funny. The nets in the early 2000s had no go to scorer. But Kidd knew he had to make something happen in the last 2 mins. Dude had no fear on both ends.

[@steveofromthecuse12]

Might have been even better if he didn't have to have micro-fracture surgery on his knee in 98. He was one of the first players along with Chris Webber to make a successful return from that kind of injury, but it had to have taken some of his athleticism away when he came back. Even so he was one of the greatest point guards to ever play.
