[@ShunyamNiketana]

I can't get over how fast Kidd could cover 5-8 feet of the floor. It's one thing to be in good position or to anticipate a pass but another to actually get to the ball, deflect it and steal it. When he's dribbling the ball, too, he has he body control to avoid a charge or turnover while crossing over at high speed--and then cross over again on someone else as he streaks down court.

[@Joshua-fq9tm]

5-8 feet ain't much, given that most nba players are over six feet tall, it's like one to two strides only

[@steveguse4481]

​@@Joshua-fq9tmThat's not what he meant. He's saying Kidd has exceptional short area floor quickness and control. Especially for his size. And quick decision making. Far superior to "conventional" athleticism...a true hooper

Kidd was so underrated... Dude would routinely score less than 10 points and be the most dominant player on the floor!

Kidd is overrated. 10 seasons he shot under 40 percent from the field and only had 3 seasons avg double digit assists

[@Charon58]

Kidd was very very good. My only knock against him was a poor shooting percentage. When the Mavs won the championship in 2011 he had gotten a lot more efficient. Stockton shot over 50% career, pretty amazing for a point guard.

[@kalinwang1]

It's not amazing for point guard to shoot 50% for the 3 point line when you're shooting 1 3point shot per game. Jason Kidd retired 3rd all time in 3 point shots made as a point guard. That's impressive. The only 2 that shot more than him was Ray Allen and Reggie Miller and they were both shooting guards.

[@Charon58]

kalinwang1 Kidd was a career .349 % 3 point shooter vs Stockton .384 % 3 point shooter. Kidd shot more but was much less efficient, shooting a career 40 % from the field vs Stockton's 50%. When a guy shoots a poor percentage teams LET them shoot and it allows them to sag off to help D. I would like to point out that shooting 50% from the field as a guard IS pretty amazing. Only a handful do it

[@TimothyMcGaffinII]

John Stockton is not only the GOAT point guard, he's the GOAT pound for pound. Smaller and not as athletic as the majority of other players but he worked HARDER and SMARTER and had more HEART than them ALL!!! He was CLUTCH hitting so many game-winning shots and in this game too he hit 2 huge 3-pointers that gave the Jazz a chance to win in the last overtime. Stockton is a true champion, he NEVER GIVES UP! And as someone else commented, "Stockton passed the torch to no one! GOAT point guard. His assist and steals record may never be broken!"

[@ignaciocompilation5069]

8:54 Stockton all emotional. J. Kidd took the NBA PG throne the day he entered the league.

[@imdbtruth]

So many of today's Mavericks fans don't even know that before Dirk, we had Kidd, and this is what it was like, pure excitement! Dirk is the greatest Maverick ever, but in my opinion he's not the best to ever play for the Mavericks, Kidd is the best player to ever put on a Mavs uniform. But then again, LUKA will probably surpass them both...
