My family had season tickets for the Nets ever since the Draz, Kenny and DC days. Only gave them up when they moved to Brooklyn. I witnessed, FIRST HARD, what the difference between having a Marbury on ya squad 1 year, and a Kidd the next. And I was/am a SUNS fan. Kidd revitalized NJ like u wouldn't believe. Watching him play with the ragtag group, no disrespect to the Bad Ass Yellow Boy K-Martin, but them nikkas flowed off of Kidd and made 2 straight NBA Finals. Boston had more talent at that time, but Kidd brought the best out of players more than I have EVER seen. More than Nash, Magic and Steph. Great POINT GUARDS can do wonders for a team. That's why I can't put Chris Paul in the elite category. With the talent teams him, there's no reas on he has never made a finals appearance
:mjlol: at all of this. This is the EXACT shyt I'm talking about, dudes romanticizing his game when reality says different.

My nikka, we wasn't in the rafters. Our seats were 5 rows back from the bench. I saw and HEARD how dude lead that team. And as I stated I am a SUNS fan. But it is what it is
I was there too. :manny:

Look man, after I went back over the tape when I could properly dissect the game years later, there's quite a few players and teams who weren't as great as I imagined or remembered them to be.

lowry is no where a hall of fame player? who ranked him in the same breath as kidd?
Nobody is. @Malta is saying that the raptors wouldn't be any better off with Kidd as opposed to Lowry since he couldn't shoot or finish at the rim most of his career while idiot 90's and early 2000's stans are arguing that the 2002 and 2003 nets would beat these cavaliers in a 7 game series

kidd can score but he was best served as a distributor... i mean you need something to work with as a pg.. he could prolly get more out of derozan

Maybe but he shot horribly most of his career, and I don't think he ever scored more than 15 a game on a season

Edit: he score more a few times, but he was a career 40% shooter from the field and only had 6 seasons shooting over 36% from distance.

No lol malta said lowery was better flat out..

And even if that was the case

I doubt kidd would ever shoot below 20% in a series

And have below 5 assist


And get torched by the opposing guard


Kidd was a great defender who guarded both pg and sgs

Only comparison in todays league to kidd would be rondo

Kidd would be avgn 13 12 7 on about 47% shooting

On top of that great defensive play in this series

Lowery falls short in every category


There's a difference between good and great
