At the end of this month, Jason Kidd will begin training camp with the Dallas Mavericks in preparation for his 17th NBA season
No. 2 is still considered one of the slickest point guards in the game and has piled up numbers that classify him among the all-time greats.
In their daily “For Old Time’s Sake” selection SLAM Online, turned the clock back with J-Kidd:
TRIPLE DOUBLE. When all is said and done, JKidd will go down as one of the greatest point guards ever. He was NASTY in high school, unreal at Cal, a lottery pick in ‘94, co-ROY, and a 10x NBA All Star…. and counting.
While an NBA Championship has evaded him to this point, he is still competing at a high level in Dallas and putting up great numbers. He has career averages of 13.6 pts, 9.2 asts, 6.6 rbs, and 2 stls. Kidd is second on the All-Time Assists list behind John Stockton and the only player in NBA history with 15,000 points, 10,000 assists and 7,000 rebounds. He is currently 3rd all time in triple-doubles with 105 (Behind the Big O and Magic).
To go along with the blog post, SLAM linked to a video, which you can see at the link below, of old school J-Kidd highlights set to the tone of Souls of Mischief’s “93 Til Infinity.”
Take a look back at the versatility, athleticism and creativity that made J-Kidd one of the most inventive point guards in league history and solidified his place along the All-Time Greats.
