Thx for what you doing for our team. Greetings from Slovenia.
Kidd deserves his flowers.
Confident he can manage this team.
Wish we can offload Luka and prepare him for another playoff run
Kidd is locked in W
When you talk about CBS Sports.. I don't think they cover the NBA. Let em know Kidd!!
Big W from Kidd for hiring Vogel as a consultant
Mad respect to Jason Kidd. He’s proved his OWN haters wrong, he’s an excellent coach. And most importantly he has the RESPECT from his star players, Luka Kyrie and Klay.
They listen to him and he wants the best for them because he’s at worst a Top 10 PG of all time himself.
Mavs are going to win it all
Love this interview. Sounds like j Kidd learned a lot from other great coaches this summer and is more prepared to win a championship this year! Happy to hear him say there will be more quick passing to keep the defense on its toes this season. He and the team are locked in and seem very confident
2025 COTY: Jason kidd let’S go
🏆🏆🏆
Awesome interview Marc!
The best thing I heard this offseason is Kidd saying the goal is not having Luka bring the ball up the court as much. He can't dominate the ball so much, otherwise this team will not meet its potential, and win a championship. Obviously, this includes playing with even more pace, which means that Luka cannot bring the ball up every time…whatever guard has the ball must push it ( or pass it ahead) and everyone else fill lanes!
Kidd has evolved so much as coach is great to see! I’m intrigued by what he learned from Phil Jackson and if they will put in some of the triangle concepts this year.
I feel like with more offensive options that we could see Luka’s scoring more around 27-28 pts, but much higher assists. MJ won his first title with the triangle and his scoring average come down. Let’s go Mavs! Great interview
Bold prediction. This Mavs team starts a dynasty. Kidd becomes the next Phil Jackson. Luka wins 6 championships in Dallas.
Now I want to watch you guys interviews when you were in your 20's.
Why are we doing this again? Dante over Spencer?????? I hope this was just for locker room politics and he knows Spencer will be the first or second guard off the bench, but just wants to wait until after camp to say he earned it. If Dante is the back up point guard, Luka will be playing 38 minutes per game again. SMH
