Jason Kidd was the first player that made me realize you can be the best player on the court and rarely shoot the ball. Dude had eyes in the back of his head.
It was . As a Vince fan when he got to New Jersey I was so happy for him cuz he finally had a player that would feed him all game without worrying about scoring . From day 1 they had a perfectly synced connection. They had played together on team usa too in 2000 and the connection there was unreal
Those spinning passes take an incredible amount of ball IQ and understanding of angles, timing, speed, anticipation, skill, rotation. Something only a lifetime of experience can bring.
“You don’t wanna be going to the bathroom, buying a coke or a hot dog when Jason Kidd is in the game” goddamn these early 2000’s commentators had some personality 😂
SuperMisteryMan01 you will be better and see the pass opportunity before it happens (?), or something like that. but you gotta play with someone who know how to play basketball properly and have a chemistry to predict what they gonna do and pass.
Delvin William well yea it’s different when u locate a teammate before u even look for a pass. The difference is like Jason Kidd he’s so creative wit passing and has good instinct to instantly make a decision like that. These passes he makes are jus so good n need a lot of touch and are on the right second too in order to get thru.
SuperMisteryMan01 you gotta penetrate the lane in straight line, that way, your team will be able to know that whatever happens, u will be running straight fasttt... and then they (teammate) will sprint or position themself. also when you sprint straight line, the defender will focus on you, leaving your teammate open.. I know the way I explain this may be too ‘simple’ for it to create a highlight tape like in the video, but honestly I watch every kidd’s highlight and this is how he do it... and you just add creativity, talent, awareness if you have one, bcs not everyone has a knack as good as jason kidd, but you can still be good though...
@@Tots214 Don't forget the spurs who also beat them with prime Duncan, parker, manu. Nets could ran over anyone in fast breaks. But lakers and spurs have better big man and force them to play halfcourts. Imagine Kidd and Manu on the same team, they got crazy moves.
You know that feeling when you're wide open for 1/2 a second and you have your hands up and you're shouting for the ball but then the window closes? Ya, Kidd's teammates never knew what that felt like.
J-KIDD is really a once in a lifetime player... out of all the super stars I've seen play the game. Jason Kidds the only player I've seen dominate the entire game without having to score buckets. Defense ,passing and leadership was off the charts... I miss watching him play... salute
once Jason possesses the ball, his teammates start running at their full speed just because they believe and know that Jasons pass will succeed and their free running will lead to baskets! That's why Jason has some targets to provide with passes during fast breaks.
kabe Nuri wow yeahh just noticed that too. i played many pickup games and the one that making me run at fullspeed on fastbreak are that one pure point guard that has big awareness and skill on passing.
1. They was far from average. They were real good. They just played better competotion in the finals 2. East was trash. Post Jordan east been trash. Thats what the Wast was about. One dude getting hot and taking a mediocre looking team to the finals. Dwight, A.I, Wade and his ancient team, Lebron, Pistons - etc 3. That does not take away from Kidds greatness. If he could shoot - he would be a top 3 PG IMO
They weren’t great, but the East was garbage at the time, AND that team fit Kidd really well. They were really good defensively (Kidd’s best attribute was actually his defense-one of the top 3-5 PG defenders ever who could defend 1-3 easy 1-4 in some cases). Plus those Nets teams had some of the best lob finishers of the era. Kenyon Martin was a FREAK athlete on those Nets teams. Richard Jefferson was a really good athlete. Vince obviously was when he was there. Kittles was good out in transition too and a phenomenal defender. Keith Van Horn was a really good mobile/stretch 4 for that era.
This video was satisfying to watch. Crazy how great of a playmaker he was he truly made a lot of mediocre guys into better players. He didn’t even have to score, the teams knew it too but knew how encouraged the guys felt to do their best when given the ball and that in itself was terrifying for defenses. A TRUE POINT GOD
One of the things that makes him so great is his ability to look away and pass. His peripheral vision is unmatched. Most people were unaware of a pass being an option, even against someone known for passing. The art of hiding your intentions is not lost on Jason Kidd. That is why I love watching these videos.
MrBrenman21 The Nets of 2001-02 feasted on mediocre Eastern teams for that defensive rating. Yet when they played the Lakers in the 2002 Finals, their defensive rating jumped from 99.5 to 116+. The best team the Nets faced, the Celtics, ranked 18th in offense and won 49 games. Meanwhile, the Lakers faced a 61 win team, a 58 win team and 49 win team...in the first round! That team, the Blazers, had a notably better offensive ranking than the Pierce Celtics, and a higher ranking in SRS. The early 90s East was about as impressive as Jason Kidd's jumper. As far as telling others to shut up, I can tell you're foolish enough to believe that having the last word is akin to winning an argument. A great marker of a moron. Be sure to prove me right with another asinine response about the "tough" Eastern conference of the early 00s.
MrBrenman21 They played the West 34% of the time -- that means they feasted on weak East comp in 2/3 of their games, helping to drive up their stats. You also need to quit lying about the 2003 Pistons -- a team that was not the same as their 2004 iteration, starting with the lack of Rasheed Wallace. In fact, the Pistons were a team that won fewer than 60% of their games before the Wallace trade in 2004; after they won over 80%. The Nets did not defeat the same team in 2003. The idea that the 2003 pre-Rasheed Pistons were better than the 2003 Spurs is laughable. As far as fags, you're the one pulling information from your ass, all so you can fit a certain object up it: namely, your own head. Innumerate moron.
MrBrenman21 A technically "weak" team you called a contender, originally, while pretending that the pre-Rasheed Wallace Pistons were the same as the Pistons with Wallace. The point of the whole conversation is that the Nets were an incredibly weak Finals team, and therefore Kidd's "achievement" in taking them there is an accident of conference. If he played with this team in the West, they'd be lucky to make it to the 2nd round. Let me explain, since you're a bit slow on those numbers. The Nets of 02 were 17-11 against the West -- a 60% winning percentage. Against the East they were 35-19 -- a 65% winning percentage. Without considering the fact that in-conference schedules are not as balanced as inter-conference (they played each West team exactly two times), the Nets would have likely won fewer than 50 games if they were in the West. If you directly translate the Nets' record to the Western bracket, they would have played the 57 win Mavericks in the first round -- a team far better than any they faced in the East. And a team that record states was better than they were. If they had somehow upset the Mavs, they would have faced the 61 win Kings in the second round. Further, if we translate their win % against the West into a full season, they likely would have had a record about as good as Portland's -- 49 wins and a first round date with the Lakers. The same Lakers team that swept them. This team would have been, quite possibly, a first round out in the Western Conference. That's how much stronger the West was. But keep talking: your replies become more ridiculous as you go. It's like watching a half-literate boy drown in text form, then discover his father's a monkey. Tragic. Just as predicted.
One of the most underrated NBA legends of all time... Kidd is among the 5 greatest players at his position... among the 10 greatest players of the 2000s decade... and was the greatest defensive player at his position
I wouldn't call Lamar Odom a legend, but I always felt like he could have been the man on a team but never was. Seriously, every time he came off the bench for the Lakers, good stuff happened. Who else personally underachieved to win with great teams?

@@Asian2706 Former Soccer(Football) player most known by football fans for his passing and playmaking. Guess the commenter was using him as an analogy to Jason Kidd
Ivan Mendoza you heard the commentors say they're daring him to shoot yes?Flashy passes don't mean you're better than someone else. The comparisons are very valid. They both couldn't shoot coming in, but impacted the game all around. It's pretty exact to me.
It’s not really two good pass first players both struggle shooting early bigger sized guards it’s not a bad comparison but on the flip side I can understand what you mean
What do you mean? They are both high IQ, great court vision, pass-first point guards. Although Lonzo needs to develop much more before comparing to Kidd’s basketball genius. Hopefully, he doesn’t develop Kidd’s off-court mischief.
You see a lot of fancy passes that really aren't necessary, but almost every single pass in this video confused the defender and got the shooter a better shot. I don't think I've ever seen a collection like this before. Incredible.
@Keyboard Legend It starts in practice. I can guarantee that each of those guys caught a pass to the face on more than one occasion in practice. They learned real damn quick to get their hands up come game-time.
7:29 was ridiculous, you have to slow it down to .5 or .25 speed to fully appreciate the brilliance. Momentum taking him out of bounds, half a second... still enough time for him to read the court and look off the defender to the wrong way and make the pass after waiting for the defender to bite on his lookoff and make the pass a no-looker just in case the lookoff didn't work. Calculated and executed all of that in half a second Man he was an unbelievable passer, with flair too
Then strength to throw that bullet while turning away and falling back 😵💫 NBA players are so strong, people used to call them all skinny twigs have no idea, they’re made of steal.
@@robk6831had the white chocolate spent about another seven to eight seasons in the NBA, he might be. There's so much potential that Williams did not showed
11:07 is truly a testament to how greatness cannot be contained. And the dumbfounded and then humorous look on Yao's face further exemplifies that notion.
I remember seeing Kidd in high school @ some invitational in Myrtle Beach, SC. He played the exact same way back then. He came out the box like that Legend!
Greatest passer in history, only reason Stockton has more assists, pick and roll with Karl Malone. It was so much easier for him. Not saying anything bad about Stockton, he was amazing. Just think Kidd was a little bit better.
I don't think the reason for Stockton was the pick and roll with Malone ...... he was constant and consistent in ordinary assists in ordinary team plays But rarely he lighted up fire with some special pass and some special vision of a particolar situation of game...in brief rarely he create something from nothing...... what Jason was more able to
Kidd had a game awareness that not many player had achieved and the ability to make fast decisions. It was like he was able to keep perfect track of the other 9 players in the court.
@Sam Zheng you really comparing Steve Nash two time MVP, a man to averaged 50/40/90 for his entire career to Jason Kidd. Look if you don't understand basketball, shut tf up and continue on with your life. Adding emojis at the end of your dumb*** sentences won't make you smart
Absolutely one of my favorite point guards to watch growing up and truly understanding the concept of team play outstanding basketball IQ that doesn't just involve scoring he can get points when he wants to but making ur teammates better with great passing and at times great rebounding playing defense and set the tone for your team leadership at its 100% best real talk
I wished back then that 2K (or NBA Live, I don't remember what I was playing during that time) would allow alley-oop passes from inbound because it would look sick and better than 0.6 buzzer beaters. Jason Kidd made it possible and I was in awe when I saw this on TV. Then, 2K added it on their next NBA 2K installment. XD
@@mds7963 jason 2nd In assist tho? Plus they both played but like dont act like nash didnt rig chase when he signed with the Lakers I sound rude but you are right
I think kidd was the best passer in nba history cause he could throw passes downcourt alley oops and no look passes it was like John Stockton magic Johnson and gary payton passing skills all combined in one
I remember how I was excited to see him start a fastbreak back when I was in middle school, he is my fav player. I stopped watch NBA after Kidd retired
This is how i play in the court, but i always assume my team will miss the shot so after i make the pass i run to grab the rebounds or tip in the ball, gets me 6 mvps in local tournaments and 3 mvps in highschool competitions.😂😂😂
#20 at 5:35 should've been in the Top 10 easily.... that pass was absolutely insane. There was no room for error whatsoever. It was a much more impressive pass than most of the assists that followed it in the video. If you looked up the definition for "thread the needle", that highlight should be there.
Oh yeah? Well #41 at 0:44 should've been in the top 3 easily...that pass was absolutely insane. There was no room for error whatsoever. It was a much more impressive pass than most of the assists that followed it in the video. If you looked up the definition for "yur ugly", that highlight should be there.
The clip starting at 9 seconds in is great. If you look closely, you will see that Kidd threw off THREE defenders by looking back toward the three point line, then hits the cutter with a no look behind the back pass for an easy bucket. Incredible show of basketball IQ, and Kidd was probably one of the smartest players ever
The 4 and the 18 are my favorites. C'mon men the 18 was so nasty, Kidd crossed Harper and then crossed Pippen, and the sweet assist. Kidd was a magician.
Kidd is one of the most inspirational team players because of his understanding of the game and his uncanny raw talent 🔥🤯it's like..he's the reason basketball was invented 🏀🎆
3:56 what the hell is that level of awareness. He probably didn't expect to be bumped by that opposing team yet he reacted perfectly. Stopped trying to possess the ball and decided to pass it. He pass it to someone he only saw moving for less than a second 8:07 this type of athleticsm and creativity would work in every sport. We need more guys like jason kidd and jokic in the court🔥 The last clip though👁️👄👁️ Rockets definitely made the best decision of letting yao ming defend and distract jason kidd in those last seconds. But who would've thought... That pass is just way too perfect
I feel like Jeremy Lin could've been a 2nd coming of Kidd if he had stayed in the Knicks as a main point guard, however Carmelo screwed all that up. Sadly linsanity lasted a short time and he had good court vision as well, with potential to score points. In a sense he could have been a better Kidd if he had been main point guard of a team.
A great point guard can be an effective floor manager that ensures player movement and spacing match plays they are supposed to execute. He can also be a "last mile" deliverer of exciting assists like Jason Kidd!

@@Asian2706 ok cool
I mean jason kidd is incredible prob one of my favourite players but comparing him to xavi is crazy he is more like a andrea pirlo
After watching this I think it’s disrespectful to compare Lonzo Ball to Jason Kidd. Damn... he was unique!
Ivan Mendoza you heard the commentors say they're daring him to shoot yes?Flashy passes don't mean you're better than someone else. The comparisons are very valid. They both couldn't shoot coming in, but impacted the game all around. It's pretty exact to me.
Star Wizzy exactly they are the new mj and kobe in therm of similar game but lonzo is less flashy, maybe cuz he’s a rookie and he play safe
th-cam.com/video/Vo8wNzzymK0/w-d-xo.html
It’s not really two good pass first players both struggle shooting early bigger sized guards it’s not a bad comparison but on the flip side I can understand what you mean
What do you mean? They are both high IQ, great court vision, pass-first point guards. Although Lonzo needs to develop much more before comparing to Kidd’s basketball genius. Hopefully, he doesn’t develop Kidd’s off-court mischief.
This is the first time I'm actually watching his highlights and appreciating how good of a point guard this guy was. One of the goats.
You gotta be 17-22 or new to basketball lol
His vision, anticipation and precision was and still is unmatched imo
Even up until now.
Y Jason wiliams?
@@ethantorres5059 jwill was a force passer. That's why he got benched a lot forcing highlights passes
LeBron is right there bro
You see a lot of fancy passes that really aren't necessary, but almost every single pass in this video confused the defender and got the shooter a better shot. I don't think I've ever seen a collection like this before. Incredible.
Look at his teammates run the floor on the break, they know JKidd's gonna feed ya somehow, someway. 1st ballot HOFer, glad he won his championship.
FACTS 💯 💯
they gave him the ball and ran hard as hell every time. They knew someone was getting a dunk on the break.
@Keyboard Legend It starts in practice. I can guarantee that each of those guys caught a pass to the face on more than one occasion in practice. They learned real damn quick to get their hands up come game-time.
7:29 was ridiculous, you have to slow it down to .5 or .25 speed to fully appreciate the brilliance. Momentum taking him out of bounds, half a second... still enough time for him to read the court and look off the defender to the wrong way and make the pass after waiting for the defender to bite on his lookoff and make the pass a no-looker just in case the lookoff didn't work. Calculated and executed all of that in half a second
Man he was an unbelievable passer, with flair too
Then strength to throw that bullet while turning away and falling back 😵💫
NBA players are so strong, people used to call them all skinny twigs have no idea, they’re made of steal.
You will never see a purest pointguard like him ever again in this nba era
Ben Simmons.

@@robk6831had the white chocolate spent about another seven to eight seasons in the NBA, he might be. There's so much potential that Williams did not showed
Dying breed, pass 1st point guard.
Lonzo Ball bro, I just hope he don't suck for the entirety of his career and be used well
pickettmichael this was somethin else. It was blind pass first pg
I know yall aint forgot about my boy Rubio
simmons
@paul reboca okay boomer
.. the precision, the anticipation, the timing, the continuity and fluidity, the variety and technique! just awesome!
11:07 is truly a testament to how greatness cannot be contained. And the dumbfounded and then humorous look on Yao's face further exemplifies that notion.
"Take him to the streets, Monte Ellis his family has to be mad at Jason Kidd, that's not fair, you don't do that to my nephew" 😂😂😂
every time when there is a steal, VC and Jefferson were like 100m race for 2 points. :)
And Kenyon Martin

Pretty shure he said fuck that lol
Kinda the most underrated legend of all time. Kinda
Definitely!! That nets team back to back run was so underrated.
Nah Alex English
He is very good rated legend, HOF, and best PG in his era
Dirk
Itz Aiden not really in hindsight he a was a shot bricker
Kenyon Martin. One of my favorite in game finishers of back in the day.
I remember seeing Kidd in high school @ some invitational in Myrtle Beach, SC. He played the exact same way back then. He came out the box like that
Legend!
I saw him play at Cal. He was astounding.
Kidd,Jason Williams,cp3,white chocolate,rondo,Nash,and ginobili really made passing and getting assists super fun to do and watch.
Those other guys isn’t on Kidd’s level.
Greatest passer in history, only reason Stockton has more assists, pick and roll with Karl Malone. It was so much easier for him. Not saying anything bad about Stockton, he was amazing. Just think Kidd was a little bit better.
I don't think the reason for Stockton was the pick and roll with Malone ...... he was constant and consistent in ordinary assists in ordinary team plays
But rarely he lighted up fire with some special pass and some special vision of a particolar situation of game...in brief rarely he create something from nothing...... what Jason was more able to
From a pure passing standpoint, Kidd was waaaayyyy better than Stockton.
Jason Kidd was more fluid and more unpredictable as a point guard
Magic was way better than both lmao.
J will bruh
Kidd had a game awareness that not many player had achieved and the ability to make fast decisions. It was like he was able to keep perfect track of the other 9 players in the court.
1:20 The irony of doing that to JWill
Jwill almost got it though.
There are a few on J-Wills highlights where he got Kidd too

Point Gods by Decade:
80's: Magic Johnson
90's: John Stockton
00's: Jason Kidd
10's: Chris Paul
Nash was easily better than Kidd.
@Sam Zheng you really comparing Steve Nash two time MVP, a man to averaged 50/40/90 for his entire career to Jason Kidd. Look if you don't understand basketball, shut tf up and continue on with your life. Adding emojis at the end of your dumb*** sentences won't make you smart
@Sam Zheng when you say some random shit, back it up
@Sam Zheng do you not what facts or stats mean?
Or individual accolades? Do you know any of these terms?
That bowling ball pass though...
Can't do that too much can easily result in face plant
Hashim Warren classix
They never won, but damn how I loved the flying circus of the nets
Literally a Flying Circus. 💯
never won a chip but they were pretty good for 5 years
Kobe wouldn’t let them win.
you spelled shaq wrong jackass
Kidd with Carter and Martin would have definitely been a good show
10:15 telepathic level teamwork; he doesn’t even glance Carter’s way after the steal
"It's no-look pass, which means... *he already looked."* 👌😎
Mark Jackson commentary is gold "you don't do that to my nephew!"
awesome dude, fantastic player. glad he was part of the legendary run.
There should be a special award for this kind of brilliance.
There is such an award, it's called the Hall of Fame.
god damn i love the power Kenyon Martin had in his prime
The dunk he did over Jermaine O'Neal was one of the worst I've ever seen.
Christopher G. at first I thought he was Carter
yeeeah and so much swagger too when he lands after his dunks !
Forreal!!!!
Kenyon Martin was trash. Kidd made him look decent just like Nash made Amare
That look on Yao's face. It's priceless. 😁😁
That’s his regular face 😐
If without the other angle replays, I couldn't see who received the ball.
0:45 - 0:48 Perfect pass + Perfect dunk. Watching Jason Kidd's pass never get old.
Absolutely one of my favorite point guards to watch growing up and truly understanding the concept of team play outstanding basketball IQ that doesn't just involve scoring he can get points when he wants to but making ur teammates better with great passing and at times great rebounding playing defense and set the tone for your team leadership at its 100% best real talk
Me watching through all these: Yeah, they all look like number 1's
Finally get to number 1: ...Wow
I wished back then that 2K (or NBA Live, I don't remember what I was playing during that time) would allow alley-oop passes from inbound because it would look sick and better than 0.6 buzzer beaters. Jason Kidd made it possible and I was in awe when I saw this on TV. Then, 2K added it on their next NBA 2K installment. XD
hahaha same here...
IM at #41....so it gets better?...cant stop rewinding #41😳...like literally⏪on repeat..
Literally 🤩
These kids today don’t understand, this is ART. The original Mr. Triple Double
Uhhh Oscar...
Best PG of the 21st century! He carried New Jersey Nets to the finals back2back and helped Dallas win a championship!
I love J Kidd and maybe he did help but if Dirk didn't find a different deminsion that year they probley would have lost thier second finals
Steve Nash has something to say about that
@@mds7963 nash dont got a ring
sete fano Naa but he has two mvps and it’s not like Kidd got his ring in his prime
@@mds7963 jason 2nd In assist tho? Plus they both played but like dont act like nash didnt rig chase when he signed with the Lakers I sound rude but you are right
Jason Kidd is the reason Vince Carter is my Favorite player the Nets were not the Best but definitely the Highlight Of New Jersey.
Are YOU Kidd-ing me
LeBeautiful good one
good one indeed
is ja(ya) son kidd-ing me?
LeBeautiful L
LeBeautiful has
Whats impressive about kidd is how he sets a screen and assist at the same time whenever he makes it on the paint
I think kidd was the best passer in nba history cause he could throw passes downcourt alley oops and no look passes it was like John Stockton magic Johnson and gary payton passing skills all combined in one
I remember how I was excited to see him start a fastbreak back when I was in middle school, he is my fav player. I stopped watch NBA after Kidd retired
Yao's smile at 11:27 is by far the best. Says it all.
Last play definitely one of the greatest moments in NBA history
I love how Martin always kicked his legs randomly on those alley-oops for no reason. lol
yaoming be like "wow that's amazing, im not even mad" 11:27
Anime in real life
Best quarter back to ever play in the nba, hands down.
Magic
This is how i play in the court, but i always assume my team will miss the shot so after i make the pass i run to grab the rebounds or tip in the ball, gets me 6 mvps in local tournaments and 3 mvps in highschool competitions.😂😂😂
A great assist is more satisfying than getting the bucket

Direct shot at splash brothers..;)
#20 at 5:35 should've been in the Top 10 easily.... that pass was absolutely insane. There was no room for error whatsoever. It was a much more impressive pass than most of the assists that followed it in the video. If you looked up the definition for "thread the needle", that highlight should be there.

Y’all shleep on 3:31 when have you seen that
you're all wrong. it was pass #11. that was the nastiest.
the paper bag she used over your head suggest otherwise
He even got me fooled with those passes from a court side view. I can´t imagine being on the floor trying to defend him.
The clip starting at 9 seconds in is great. If you look closely, you will see that Kidd threw off THREE defenders by looking back toward the three point line, then hits the cutter with a no look behind the back pass for an easy bucket. Incredible show of basketball IQ, and Kidd was probably one of the smartest players ever
The 4 and the 18 are my favorites. C'mon men the 18 was so nasty, Kidd crossed Harper and then crossed Pippen, and the sweet assist. Kidd was a magician.
Man just knew where everyone was at all times. A real Chess player on the court. Gifted gifted man.
Kidd is one of the most inspirational team players because of his understanding of the game and his uncanny raw talent 🔥🤯it's like..he's the reason basketball was invented 🏀🎆
3:56 what the hell is that level of awareness.
He probably didn't expect to be bumped by that opposing team yet he reacted perfectly. Stopped trying to possess the ball and decided to pass it. He pass it to someone he only saw moving for less than a second
8:07 this type of athleticsm and creativity would work in every sport.
We need more guys like jason kidd and jokic in the court🔥
The last clip though👁️👄👁️
Rockets definitely made the best decision of letting yao ming defend and distract jason kidd in those last seconds. But who would've thought...
That pass is just way too perfect
I love how the crowd is already in awe and cheering before the shot is made
40 was insane. He put a spin on it to make it bounce back
if u love basketball you gotta love jason kidd he makes the beautiful game look even more beautiful. Genius!
The best combo of finesse and efficiency
of all times, Mr. Jason Kidd
Damn. He was good not at knowing where the other players were, but at knowing where they were gonna be next.
There will NEVER be another Jason Kidd
I will be the next Jason Kidd
I feel like Jeremy Lin could've been a 2nd coming of Kidd if he had stayed in the Knicks as a main point guard, however Carmelo screwed all that up. Sadly linsanity lasted a short time and he had good court vision as well, with potential to score points. In a sense he could have been a better Kidd if he had been main point guard of a team.
Lonzo ball
Steve Nash was better.
@@krstojovkoski576 lets talk about championship
A pleasure to watch him play with great finishers like Carter, Jefferson, and Martin.
That 02 and 03 nets was excited to watch even he had vince too
Always has been my favorite player. Without a doubt a magician
Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin: Powerful combination
One of the best to ever play the game. With the rare ability to make everyone around him better.
A great point guard can be an effective floor manager that ensures player movement and spacing match plays they are supposed to execute. He can also be a "last mile" deliverer of exciting assists like Jason Kidd!
Best passer I've ever seen in basketball history...
Jason Williams is the best Kidd is amazing also tho
Steve Nash, Magic Johnson,even Stockton?
@@jamesonmcknight685
Best passer, not best player.
Stockton, Bird, LeBron also really good passers
