News about Jason Kidd

The 40-year-old, 2005 NCAA champion was asked his thoughts on the two rivals after Reese and Clark played on the same team together for the first time of their careers at the WNBA All-Star game. Basketball fans were torn over the former NBA point guard's proposal on social media, as his opinion is modeled off the NBA previously having split its Rookie of the Year Award on three separate occasions (1994-95; 1970-71; 1999-2000).

While the Boston Celtics players wasted no time popping champagne bottles, head coach Joe Mazzulla celebrated the team's historic victory in the most wholesome fashion.  The 35-year-old, who became the youngest coach to win an NBA title since 1970, remained at TD Garden for hours after the franchise defeated the Dallas Mavericks 106-88 Monday night.  Mazzulla and his wife, Camai Mazzulla, were seen holding hands while walking around the empty arena, the Boston Herald reports. 

Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla stunned the press room into silence when he awkwardly dodged a reporter's question during a press conference over the weekend. Mazzulla was asked about the reverence of the NBA finals featuring two Black head coaches for the first time in nearly half a century. Both he and the Dallas Mavericks head coach, Jason Kidd, are Black. 

Discussing Jason Kidd's comments on Jaylen Brown being the best player on the Celtics - and not Jayson Tatum - ahead of Game 1, Meyers said the media holds debates to divide teams' locker rooms, as he suggested that Smith is one of the reporters doing exactly that. Meyers was the face of the Warriors' front office from 2012-2023, winning four NBA titles after identifying and assembling the talents of Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. He was also behind the Kevin Durant trade in 2016.

Kidd appeared on the Downbeat on 97.1 on Tuesday, The Freak and Likened the 24-year-old star to Michael Jordan and other NBA legends. 'I've said this before, and I'll tell you, for as long as I'm here, you can't take this young man for granted,' Kidd said. He's better than Dirk.' He's in the MJ atmosphere, the best way to do it ever. LeBron, Kobe.' The statement came days after Doncic broke franchise scoring records with a 73-point outburst against the Atlanta Hawks. Doncic had previously held the record at 60 points, with him and Nowitzki tied for third with respective 53-point results.

On Tuesday night, Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd unleashed an expletive-laden outburst at an ESPN reporter, despite being subpoenaed in his ostensibly dull, monotone delivery. Tim MacMahon, a long-time NBA reporter who has been covering Kidd since his playing days, has requested that reporters have more positive coverage. The 50-year-old Hall of Famer said, 'It's alright to write positive stuff.' 'People will read your positive messages.' You don't have to be negative to be happy. The world is already negative.' MacMahon told Kidd about the Mavs' improved results in late-game scenarios, sparking the back-and-forth. The Mavs have been exceptional in clutch situations this season, as opposed to last year, when newly acquired Kyrie Irving struggled to mesh with star point guard Luka Doncic, resulting in a disappointing 38-44 record.

Nikola Jokic scored his 108th triple-double in his career, breaking a tie with LeBron James and Jason Kidd and placing him in fourth place on the all-time list. Magic Johnson is now ranked third in third place by a double-double. With 35 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists, Jokic scored his 108th triple-double, winning the Denver Nuggets 134-116 on Monday night.

Shaquille O'Neal, the NBA Hall of Fame, was left awed by Nikola Jokic's stellar play in Thursday's Game 1 of the NBA Finals. In his debut in his Finals debut, Jokic made a triple-double, becoming the first to do so since Jason Kidd in 2002 as his Denver Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat 104-93. On the night, the 'Joker', as Denver fans affectionately referred to him, dropped 27 points, ten rebounds, and 14 assists.

Victor Wembanyama, France's top export, is poised to replace wine as France's top export, a 7-foot-4 basketball sensation. He's athletic, skilled, vast, and yet only 19, so the winning team will undoubtedly be considered very lucky as the league selects its first pick on Tuesday night in New York. It's either way or not Wembanyama will feel the same way. The 14 teams in Tuesday's lottery aren't all positive, and that's by design. The lottery is supposed to enhance the league's bottom feeders by (slightly) deterring them from tanking their seasons in an attempt to land a top talent in the draft, such as Wembanyama. Mail Online's preview of Wembanyama's 14 future teams, how he'd fit, and what these clubs need to do to attract the NBA's most coveted prospect in a generation.

On Friday night, Coby White scored 24 points and the short-handed Chicago Bulls rallied past the weakened Mavericks 115-112, effectively ending Dallas from play-in competition a year after the club advanced to the Western Conference finals. All three Texas-based NBA teams (Dallas, Houston, San Antonio) will miss the playoffs for the first time in history. Dallas coach Jason Kidd said before the game that a "organizational decision" was made to limit Luka Doncic to the first quarter while sitting with fellow All-Star Kyrie Irving and four other regulars before the club was barred from the postseason. Irving, who wanted to be moved out of Brooklyn to a playoff contender, will now miss the playoffs entirely.

Luka Doncic missed the Dallas Mavericks' game against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night due to a strained left ankle and did not return to the game, but his team won 99-95. During a timeout, Doncic played just three minutes before limping to the locker room. The 23-year-old, who was named an All-Star for the fourth straight season earlier this season, came into the game with a total of 33.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 8.6 assists. Doncic was trying to make a move near to the basket against Phoenix's Cam Johnson, but he stepped on Mikal Bridges' foot before handing the ball and limping away. He grabbed at his lower left leg before Dallas coach Jason Kidd called for a timeout.

Luka Doncic, the franchise's new star, scored 32 points in a Christmas victory over the Lakers, but the Mavericks opulently paid tribute to team legend Dirk Nowitzki as they unveiled a statue of him. The statue of Nowitzki, which is located outside the team's home at American Airlines Arena, stands 24 feet tall and depicts his iconic one-legged fadeaway. Doncic and Mavs coach (and former Nowitzki teammate) Jason Kidd, not to mention Doncic and Mavs coach (and former Nowitzki teammate) Jason Kidd were on hand to watch the unveiling, but the impressive sculpture was unveiled by a crowd of people.

LeBron James and Dwayne Wade are executive producers on a documentary about the 2008 US men's basketball team known as the 'Redeem Team,' which will premiere on Netflix this fall. The Redeem Team's first partnership with the International Olympic Committee will debut on Netflix on October 7th.'The Redeem Team's first collaboration with the International Olympic Committee will begin on Netflix. The 2008 team's bid for gold in the Beijing games follows a disappointing bronze finish at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, with behind-the-scenes video and interviews from the players and coach Mike Krzyzewski. Kobe Bryant was captain of the 2008 team, which also included James, Wade, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, and Carmelo Anthony. The team, whose nickname referred to the fabled 1992 'Dream Team,' defeated Spain in the gold medal game against Spain.

No achievement is held in the NBA with a higher regard than the championship ring. No matter how well-decorated with individual awards, a celebrity's legacy is seen as incomplete without it. Allen Iverson, four-time scoring champion, all-time assists and robs leader John Stockton, and two-time regular season MVP Karl Malone all laughed at the prospect of being in the Hall of Fame, but no one would win a ring.
