Dereck Lively II on Coach Jason Kidd: “He’s been one of the best coaches I’ve ever had… There’s been a lot of criticism on him, but I don’t understand why. I feel like he’s an amazing coach and an amazing person.“

Jason are you still beating your wife?
Kidd really became a much better coach coincidentally at the same time the roster improved. Funny how that works
One of my favorite things is how this sub and mavs fans have shit on him so much the past few years only to now saying how good of a coach he is lol
I didn’t really have any ill things to say about him as a coach except I didn’t agree with how he did things here but people mainly talk about him beating his wife, I think that’s a legit criticism for people to have.
Not to nitpick this but Dereck Lively hasn’t had THAT many coaches. High school guys, young Scheyer at Duke: hope an NBA coach would be “one of” the best he’s ever had.
Criticism is 98% unfounded cause the people criticising have absolutely no idea what the fuck they’re talking about.
Its just win=good lose=bad, misrepresent post game quotes as evidence
It’s super weird that Kidd is shit on while Malone is praised on this sub. By far, Kidd has shown better adjustments, better usage of subs (giving Luka more rest), etc.
I feel like this sub and especially the Nuggets sub are brigaded by paid Malone supporters for whatever reason. Maybe Malone is that sensitive about his image online. He certainly has the resources to do it.
I can’t imagine a big group of people simping for a coach through their own free will, especially one who is not even a top tier coach like Spo.
Jason kidd wife
Full quote:
> “He’s been one of the best coaches I’ve ever had. He’s put me in positions where he’s expecting me to fail, and even if I fail, he’s gonna leave me in there to learn…Being able to have a coach like that who’s gonna make the players speak, and then say what he thinks, it’s an amazing process…There’s been a lot of criticism on him, but I don’t understand why. I feel like he’s an amazing coach and an amazing person.”
Amazing people hit women and drive drunk?
Lively has pulled at my heart strings and I’m not emotional. The guy has been through so much shit given his age, but he is always so positive.
I need mavericks fans to tell me, is Jason kidd a good coach? I feel like the majority have wanted him to be fired even though he’s coached them deep twice in 3 years. Is he good or lucky?
Amazing person? Tell that to his wife
If Chet and Wemby are so good, why is only Lively still playing?
Redditors rushing in to pretend they care about Jason Kidd’s wife for karma
What would a Rookie say?
Besides the obvious and fair off court criticisms. I thought he was highly criticised for his spell in Milwaukee both for being bad at x’s and o’s AND for creating a Mark Jackson style toxic culture?? Am I remembering right? Has he changed or improved?
Not possible. r/nba told me he was an idiot. Could Lively know more about his coaching than them? Not likely.
I thought it was a nbacj post based on the headline honestly
Mavs Reddit in shambles
Why’d I see him at this angle and think he looks like Kyle Anderson’s younger bro or something. IDK if it’s just this angle or if he’s been looking like a young Slomo
You can’t really say anything bad about the coach when you’re in the finals lol
