Last but not least any team he went to became winners it's wild he didn't get a MVP award during his 2 finals runs .out of all the top point guards in history he did more with less can't remember really playing with a legit prime all star says it all . 2nd best point Guard of all time cause defense counts in my book .

J. Kidd the original Mr. Triple Double. One of the best point guards ever. Made Dallas into a winner really wondered what would have happened if J Kidd Jamal Mashburn amd Jimmy Jackson would have done if they were all on the same page it would have been special. He also turned the Nets into a title contender went back to Dallas to get a championship. Just a bonafide winner wherever he went no doubt about it. I Didn't know he played baseball in high school. He probably would have been a great player in baseball as well. Hes always so laid back and chill. He seems like a good dude much respect.

JKidd is the PERFECT Coach for Luka. Luka is young and wears his emotions on his sleeve sometimes to a fault which is expected for a young superstar like he is, but if you go back and just watch JKidd highlights from like 01-03, this dude used to give my Pacers FITS and he would never seem rattled or ever shaken no matter what was going on and he’d all the sudden have 30,10, and 12 Assists all within the flow of the game. JKidd was always under control and always had his composure during those years especially and he can teach Luka how to harness his emotions better on the court so that Luka can avoid riding all of those waves throughout the game. JKidd will go down as one of the biggest influencers on Luka’s career when it’s all said and done.

J Kidd is an OG point god. All respect and no hate on CP

[@rukawa23gold]

I will never forget how Jason Kidd beat the defending champion Duke in 1993 NCAA. It's on a last second highly contested layup. All game long, I thought Duke was winning. Duke offense was simply so smooth. Yet, Kidd led scrappy Cal somehow always finds a way to stay in the game. Never let the lead ran away. I always thought Kidd was Michael Jordanesq in that final play. If he had better 3 point shooting earlier in his career, he would definitely got to Finals earlier. The 3 point shot he displayed in the 2011 playoffs was smooth and dependable. Earlier in his career, defender was always sagging when Kidd has the ball. Daring Kidd to drive inside. Amd yet Kidd was unstoppable in his drive into the paint.

Grew up a Mavericks fan from birth, never a front runner. When the Mavericks drafted this man after drafting Jim Jackson and Jamal Mashburn the previous 2 years I believed with my whole heart my little Mavericks were on their way to being competitive and brining some winning tradition to DFW. This was all before Cuban bought the team and after a very short run they were all gone. Fast forward to Jason being a key contributor to the 2011 Championship team and now the head coach going into the 2024 finals I can honestly say that my best memories as a Mavericks fan involve Jason Kidd.

Man!!! Father Time!!!!! I remember buying Sport Illustrated with Kidd on the front with a ton of offer leaders on top on him. Watching Kidd play his first college game at Sac State and all the memories of him and Gary Payton playing in the Pro Am leagues. Dam I miss those days

[@mikechoi1577]

If the best thing you do is shooting/scoring by far, then in my book, you are a 2 guard. Jason is the last of a dead breed, the pass first point guard.❤

[@CarbinKid]

My favorite Point God ever.

One of the greatest NBA PG ever.
