Cuban: No Chance Mavs retire Kidd's #

[Remix]

You must pay the troll toll.

boys hole

[It's A VC3!!!]

According to mark, kidds name won't be there because he left to NY. Mark is bitter. It has nothing to do with his contributions. He even said jet is probable too. The entire article is devoted to kidds "bitter" departure.

Why would any team retire his jersey? He was a great player for a few years but he's not an all time great, I guess anyone can get their jersey retired nowadays.

as usual, this kid has no understanding. He was an all time great NET. List 5 more important players to that franchise to date?

[SilkkTheShocker]

Nets will definitely retire his number. He turned that s.hit franchise around for awhile

[Rubio2Gasol]

Magic Johnson was a joke defensively, he should not be talking about Jason Kidd.

It's not even like Magic had a jump shot or was some sort of versatile scorer anyway

unreal...

kidd played 8 years in Dallas

1995 = 11/8/5 ( rookie of the year )
1996 = 16/10/7 ( Allstar )
1997 = 10/9/4
2008 = 10/9/6 ( Allstar )
2009 = 9/9/6
2010 = 10/9/5 ( Allstar )
2011 = 8/8/4 ( NBA Champion )
2012 = 6/5/4


that added to his HOF total career

while I agree that Kidd did more in Dallas than many here seem to remember, those two All Star appearances in his second Dallas run are kind of a joke.

The first was b/c he was voted in the East with the Nets. It may as well have been a lifetime achievement award.

The second was b/c a freak ice storm hit Dallas when we hosted the ASG causing a player (injury replacement I think) to be unable to make it in. Kidd just happened to be in town and was willing to play.

Jason Kidd wore 5 during his first 3 years in Dallas. His second stint he was a good player, but never the same.



The year he got traded to the Mavs, he made it as a Net and he was easily deserving. He was one of the top players in the league in the first half of the year. The team just sucked.



I wouldn't retire #2...#5 would be cool tho. I wonder if the Suns would retire #32...he was 1st Team All-NBA and led the league in assists 3 seasons in a row there...and he should have made the All-NBA 3rd Team another year. Made 3 all-star games as a Sun (would have been 4, if not for the lockout).


But it's rough to have a guy's jersey retired in so many places. The Nets tho...come on. Him and Dr. J...who else?

If Bruce Bowen can get his jersey retired then Kidd deserves it by a mile.
