Prime Kidd was flawed but he worked around his flaw. It was not like Dwight insisting on getting the ball in the post when he can't score effectively in the post. Kidd couldn't shoot so he didn't. Despite this handicap. his teams ran a fluid offense based on Kidd's incredible court vision and passing. The raptors? Their offense is a series of isolation plays with a few picks thrown in. Lowry has a better jump shot than prime kidd, absolutely. Adonal Foyle had a better jump shot than prime Kidd. But I don't think Lowry has as much impact on the offensive end as prime kidd.

Understand, i was not a fan of Kidd. He's not overrated modernly like AI but claiming Lowry NOW is better than prime Kidd is tough to swallow.

Damn, thats saying a lot for you cuz, you usually have no trouble swallowing

Lowry is "orchestrating" an offense? Dude barely seems to be able to orchestrate his feet in the post season. He's not playing like a point guard. Kidd actually ran the offense, finding people in the right spots.
I don't even know what to say to this. Especially coming you. You're one of the more leveled-headed posters on this board.
I was very critical of Kidd back then, and on sohh, he was called 'Ason kidd for a reason, cause the only J he ever hit was his then wife. But in terms of pure skill, i ACTUALLY observed his historically great passing. Lowry is closer to James Harden in terms of his post season performance in most games.
I don't think anyone would argue that he isn't an all-time great passer, but there's a reason why Chris Paul can run a great offense (and isn't a detriment to his team's offense) and Rondo can't. I'll let you work out why.
Please provide links to your stated information, forthwith. This should be interesting :jjjjj:
It's interesting that you would ask for this since you seem convinced Kidd ran these great, fluid offenses and finding people in the right spots, yet all you have to go on is what you think happened, rather than what actually happened. Probably like most on here who think the same.

Brooklyn Nets - the seasons are all there.

:dead: @ the thought of taking Lowry over prime Kidd.

Lowry's postseason shooting numbers make Ason Kidd look like Curry. :scust:
Lowry had a better season than Kidd ever did, obviously comparing their careers is another thing altogether (one we shouldn't do for obvious reasons). But yeah this version of Lowry is better than prime Kidd.

:manny:

Lowry is a 36% FG shooter in the post season for his career..

That's why I said this forum has gone full Trump.. N1ggas will say absolutely anything.. And Malta is one of the most respected basketball minds on here...


When the lights are the brightest this n1gga Lowry is pretty much Ricky Rubio with an inflated sense of self confidence.. :mjlol:

This place is no longer a place for serious basketball conversation.. I'm going full :troll: mode from here on...

Damn.

This is almost like that time Z Bo/Gil Scott Heroin said Draymond Green would shut down Kareem. And that Draymond was better than Rodman.

Kyle Lowry better than Jason Kidd is some shyt you'd say in your sleep after 9 bourbons.

:huhldup:

Draymond green gives you incredible defense, passing, and he can score 20

Swap draymond for rodman and golden state would be noticeably worse

Jason kidd in todays nba spread offense would be :wow:

Healthy D Rose

Coming from a Celtics fan, Isaiah has never at any point in his career been better than Lowry

Teague was regularly getting benched during 4th quarters for Schroder this year yet he's better than Lowry? :francis:

Nevermind that healthy Rose is damn near an oxymoron at this point, even when he was healthy enough to play this year he wasn't anything that more than an average starting PG
