you rant on a 100 different comments that are barely readable, and then with your poorly constructed sentences you call people stupid

[@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!

@@WickOsama1 But it only took Kidd a few seasons playing next to another great player (Dirk) to win a championship...

[@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

No disrespect to the GREAT John Stockton, but I think Kidd was better. Kidd could control the whole flow of the game to a degree that Stockton could not. Stockton played his entire career next to another HoF'er, Stockton played within his role... Kidd on the other hand carried his team of scrubs all the way to back to back Finals appearances... Kidd could dominate a game without scoring in ways that can't even be quantified on a stat sheet, and his late game heroics on both offense and defense are legendary.

[@GearHedd]

All I know is if I had to put every dollar I had on a game that involved going up against a team like the Jordan led Bulls or Lakers with Magic Johnson and Kareem...

Over and over and over again like clockwork... I used to hate when the Nuggets would have to play him because he was just so hard to beat... No matter how good ur backcourt was he was gonna tear it up... And the consistancy at which he did it... The guy was ruthless. Like a machine...

On the other hand, once Kidd was finally teamed up with another HoF level player (Dirk), they won a ring together within only a few years, even though Kidd was already on the backside of his career.
