Crazy that these two lasted as long as they did and retired within days of each other. BOTH should be in the HOF.

Kidd

 

[lace fiend]

he set the bar for PG's and i personally think he should of retired after his last run with mavs, but this is an excellent time to get some retros going

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Best PG since Magic imo

Definition of making the guys around him better, had an unreal ability to control the flow of the game.

 

[k2theablam]

Another childhood superstar hangs them up.

...


Time for the Lakers to offer him a 3 year deal fasho!!

 

[Humbled]

Kidd in NJ was unreal

 

[diewitsjames]

Great career, but I'll be honest...While I recognize his greatness, he never really appealed to me. *shrugs*

 

[shannonscrooks]

I hate him but I will forever be indebted to him for this act of greatness:

[yungmatt]

Best PG of my generation

 

[the natural mystic]

I am just happy he got a ring. Truly deserved it.

 

[green rhino123]

i can't remember, did he used to beat his wife?

 

[kevin cleveland]

Let's not forget the Nelly-inspired pun of his name that became my first Niketalk identity 11 years ago.

 

[jdi23]

My favorite PG. Should have at least one MVP award, but that's for another day.

Appreciated!

 

[shatterkneesinc]

seeing these 2 retire brings me back to my card collecting days

 

[verdykt]

The youth basketball program in Utah is called Jr. Jazz. When we first got our jerseys I picked 5 because of Jason Kidd and Jalen Rose. One of my favorite players to watch growing up.

I hate him but I will forever be indebted to him for this act of greatness:
