It's 12 days old, but I'm not sure as to how I missed it.</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> JASON KIDD (14th year, Nets/Suns/Mavs) 14.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 9.2 assists, 2.0 steals</p> Why: It wouldn’t be that crazy to argue for Kidd as the best point guard of all-time, and it’s hardly difficult to argue his case as the best of his era. Forget the term “triple-double threat” in Kidd’s case; he averaged 14-10-10 in the ‘07 playoffs as a 34-year-old, following a regular season in which he led his team in rebounds from the PG spot. The bar for the all-purpose point guard has been set by Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and Jason Kidd, who sit 1-2-3 on the all-time list for career triple-doubles. Kidd led the Nets to back-to-back Finals appearances in ‘02 and ‘03, where they fell to clearly superior L.A. and San Antonio teams, and he’s got an Olympic gold medal to go with his seven All-Star appearances and five All-NBA first team nods. Had the same MVP voting philosophies of the Steve Nash era been applied five years ago, Kidd would have won the award in ‘02, his first year with the Nets. That season he averaged 14.7 points, 9.9 dimes, 7.3 boards and 2.1 steals a night, and took New Jersey from a 26-56 record the year before his arrival to a 52-30 Finals squad. From a purely aesthetic perspective, Kidd is possibly the greatest passer the game has ever seen.</p> Why not: He doesn’t have a championship. And we’ve all heard the “Ason” joke before. Beyond that, the anti-Kidd argument is weak.</p> Our call: IN</div></p> Source</p> I dare anyone to say he doesn't belong in the HOF.</p>

What kind of question is that?</p> Of course he is! A first ballot even. No question about that. It's guaranteed.</p> </p>
Yes, he should be in there. I'll save myself the time from typing it all up and just put this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Kidd#Aw...accomplishments</p>
I'm not sure why this would be a question?</p> The only thing that I would question is where the article suggests that you could argue Kidd as the best PG of all time. No way he goes over the Big O or Magic. Those guys did what Kidd does and they did it better.</p> Either way, Kidd must be in the HOF, and I'm a Celtics fan who can't even stand the guy.</p>
Not close to Magic, but easily a Hall of Famer.</p> Also, I know Nets fans like to think Kidd should've won an MVP, but how the hell do you take it away from Duncan in his prime? Crazy talk.</p>
