Jason Kidd clearly hasn’t lost his competitive edge, we see it on a nightly basis. I was curious if he ever tried Luka Doncic or Kyrie Irving on the practice court.
Maxi Kleber kept it pretty real here

Jason Kidd on Luka Doncic to @YahooSports: “he sat down and answered the hard questions. Shoot, guys run and hide and disappear and he understands that. But he’s front and center.”

Jason Kidd on Dereck Lively II’s shooting development:
“He can shoot. That’s the next step for his development, is being able to shoot the three… His ability to be able to bring the ball, being able to shoot the three is the next step for him.” pic.twitter.com/ikmRZkCzAP – 10:22 AM

We may not have believed him at the time, but Jason Kidd’s statement that there are no lineup changes for the Mavericks was true. Same starters for Game 4 – 8:24 PM

Jason Kidd made it abundantly clear in his pregame press conference that he’s upset about recent coverage of his star player in a high-profile media outlet, and I thank him for not coming right out and mentioning the San Antonio Express-News by name. – 7:47 PM

More on this storyline
“They’re very similar,” Kidd told ESPN of Doncic and James, whom he coached as associate head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020. “They’re very similar, IQ-wise. Both just off the charts. Luka doesn’t have athleticism like LeBron has. But they do a lot of things similar and they both really know the game.” Harrison leaned hard on his personal relationship with Irving. “I knew him,” Harrison told ESPN. “I knew him since he was 16.” -via ESPN / June 17, 2024
ClutchPoints: “He looked like Ray [Allen] and Steph [Curry]. So we’re gonna need that here in Game 5… Hopefully, he’s able to knock down those same shots.” Jason Kidd on Tim Hardaway Jr.’s performance in Game 4
