The Knicks may have to wait for another 1-2 seasons before they can own Kidd's team (whatever it is) in the regular season.
What do you expect? Knicks for the lack of better word suck, and they over maxed their salary cap, i mean common. Marbury declares himself the best point guard and BOLDLY places himself above JKIDD, and then Kidd gets a tripple double.

He declared himself the best PG a while ago and now Kidd got the triple double so the two have nothing to do with each other.
^ yeah i mean come on, sorry about that forgot to press space, and yeah it does. I think that JKidd still remembers what Steph said. And for that matter i think every other PG in the league remembers that too. Also Kidd is right, Knicks are just another bad team right now, maybe in a coupple years theyll be a contender once again but not now.

They asked Marbury "Do you think you're the best PG in the league?" If he said no, than the next day in the papers it will say Marbury is not confident and he can't lead the Knicks or something. They asked him the question it's not like he just said it out the blue. Whether or not they are bad or not, you don't say that. It's not like the Nets are a whole lot better than the Knicks either. They are easily in the same realm. How would it be if the Spurs beat the Blazers and Tim Duncan said I don't get excited because the Blazers are a bad team. If anything, Kidd's statement is worse than Marbury's statement.
This is a New York Post article. They always misconstrue player's comments after a game. Jason Kidd is one of the most competitive players in the NBA. He doesn't need much to get motivated to play hard every night. I know he has a personal feud with Marbury and likes to stick it to him everytime they match up.
This article made me laugh. The Knicks are definetely a bad team but last time I checked the Nets werent one of the elites either. Kidd is talking as if the Nets are going somewhere this season when in actuality their fighting to become an appetizer for Shaq. Kidd is probably just upset that no matter how good the Nets are they wont be nearly as popular as the Knicks. No offense to all the true die hard Nets fans out there.

And you guys see Kidd stand over JYD when he was called for the offensive foul? Taunting him. What is he now a tough guy? First that and then claiming which teams are good and bad. Shut up Kidd, talk when you make the playoffs this year. Because if you dont, you're a bad team too.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BobbyEscobar:</div><div class="quote_post">J-Kidd is a funny character. Weren't the nets "Just another bad team" before Vince Carters rebirth?</div> Ahh...actually no they really improved because Jason Kidd got healthy and was once again ready to return to playing his normal 40 minutes of floor general-ship. What Vince has done is nice but please dont get confused about who the engine of the team is....Kidd's play dictates everything else on the floor. And I dont think that Kidd is saying the Knicks just stink this year, he is pretty much saying the Knicks have stunk ever since he has been in Jersey so what is the need to get excited about playing them for...It isnt Pearl, Clyde, Pat, Oak, Starks or anyone else from past Knicks greatness suiting up on the court. Its Crawford, Tim Thomas etc suiting up. And frankly, the product the Knicks are putting on the floor nowadays is pure garabage, get offended if you want, but its the truth. And that is what Kidd is saying just not in as many words.

The Knicks have had their problems recently especially during that January mental lapse, but what about the Nets before Kidd came? Kidd is talking as if the Nets are battling for the conference crown when they're battling to become an appetizer for Shaq like Tribute said. That's disrespectful to say to any team I don't care what they're putting on the floor.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting WadeDynasty:</div><div class="quote_post">Welll knicks are the bad team right now... what should Kidd say???</div> He could just, I dont know...maybe shut the hell up! The Nets as of today arent even in the playoffs. So I dont know where he gets off saying the "Knicks are just another bad team". Afterall if you dont make the playoffs you're "just another bad team" too. Or if he really had to say something he could have said it after the third game when the Knicks and Nets met each other instead of saying it after the last time they played each other. He is a true, blue, fugazy! Kidd must think he's a real tough guy insulting the Knicks when he wont see them for the rest of the season. But of course that's Jason Kidd. He's been a cowardly, dirty man for most of his career so I dont expect anything more out of him. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Henacy:</div><div class="quote_post">And I dont think that Kidd is saying the Knicks just stink this year, he is pretty much saying the Knicks have stunk ever since he has been in Jersey so what is the need to get excited about playing them for...It isnt Pearl, Clyde, Pat, Oak, Starks or anyone else from past Knicks greatness suiting up on the court.

They have household names such as Jason Collins, Nenad Kristic and Cliff Robinson. That must be why the Nets are currently on the outside looking in. What Kidd needs to do is keep his mouth shut, do what he's paid to do and play basketball. Maybe if he does that he'll scrape into the playoffs just in time to be swept by Shaq.
People got freedom of expression Nets won 8 more games than the knicks and they have possibility of getting that 8th spot in the east where Knicks managed to win 29 games only. Good defense tho knicks fans. It's hard to stay a fan of losing team. I've done that with the HEAT where they didn't get to playoffs for 3-4 years.

Maybe if he does that he'll scrape into the playoffs just in time to be swept by Shaq.</div> First off its not just about the names that you put on the court, I didnt mention Tim Thomas & Jamal Crawford to name drop. I mainly named those two because they are exactly the opposite of what the Knicks history has been about. And as a Knick fan you should clearly know that. You have,two me first players, who dont have the slightest idea about what winning or playing within the team concept is about. That is the reason why the Bulls didnt want Crawford & the Bucks nor Philly ever had Tim Thomas in the grand scheme of their futures, yet the Knicks pay Crawford a bunch of money during the offseason. It just goes to show that the Knicks goals have been over the past 5 plus years. And that is to stay in the scheme of being a poor basketball team. So please fully understand my post and opinions before you respond. Never once did I say those guys where garabage because they arent house hold names like past Knicks, I just said they were garabage, their effort on the basketball court has been consistently garabage. And that is way before they became Knicks, noticed I never mentioned Kurt Thomas, Jerome Williams, Malik Rose, guys who are less known as household names then Crawford or Tim Thomas, why? because I respect the effort they put out on the basketball court. And lol, you name drop NJ Nets players as a means of being disrepectful but you pretty much make no sense cause who cares if the casual basketball fan knows who Cliff Robinson is....he has lasted in the NBA for 18 years simply off his ablity to play defense, the guy has been apart of teams that have been to the NBA finals. At one time he actually was on teams that made the playoffs for 11 consectuive years, countless times in the playoffs if you think about his years in Portland, Phoenix etc...you know what that is called being a winner come back and post when 90% of the Knicks roster learns what that is actually about...Household names mean nothing the Knicks stink because their effort on a nightly bases stinks, so please never confuse my point of the post. BTW, Who cares what Kidd's personality is like off the court? fact of the matter is that on the court he places the game almost as picture perfect as you can play from the point guard postion being a floor leader... And stop worrying about whether the Nets are going to get ate up by Shaq or not in the first round....The fact is the Nets have continued to display the heart to fight to try & get in...after everyone had them written off after the 3-12 start and Kidd sitting on the sideline with leg problems. And them was written off again when RJ went down who was our Best player up until that point. But the fact is that guys like Krstic, Collins, Best, step their games up along with our star guys. And trhe Nets are still in the hunt to extend their season, so even if they dont do much against Shaq in the playoffs or dont even make the playoffs at all this is still something they can build on going into Next year. BTW, do you really think that if Kidd would have said it before the game the outcome would have been different, if that is what the Knicks need for motivation then they are far worst off then you or I can even imagine. Plus Richard Jefferson talked greasy about the Knicks all last season and it didnt motivate them to put up much of a fight. And Kenyon Martin clowned one of your key players in the playoffs yet after game one the Knicks werent motivated to put up much of a fight in the playoffs. So why would they get motivated now, honestly? please..........
i kinda think kidd is talkin to marbury without actually sayin it. he probably says ur team is bad and everytime ur on a team their bad. u think im a loser becuz i have no championships well look at urself. somethin like that. im sure kidd is talkin about marbury
I think people are really blowing this out of proportion. Kidd was just fulfilling his media obligation and answering a question posed to him by THE NEW YORK MEDIA. What do you want him to do? Lie about getting up and circling the Knicks on his calendar every year? Thats like him saying he gets up to play the Bobcats when he sees them on the calendar. That would be celebrating mediocrity at it's finest. Basic fact is when he is asked a question he must answer that question with a statement. He can't just "shut up" or say nothing. He basically just told the truth and judging by the responses in this thread, the truth hurts.
Haha, no disrespect, but notice that the two Knicks fans are the only ones who don't agree with Kidd's comments. My view on it, regardless or WHOEVER it was, I'd agree. If you have a (considerbly) better record then the other team, then you deserve to talk. If the Spurs came in and said "Why should we be excited about the Nets? They're just a team that's contending for a playoff spot," I would completely agree with it, because its real. I guarantee you had it been a bizzaro world and the Nets were headed for the lottery and the Knicks were contending for a playoff sport and Marbury had said it, you same fans would not have disapproved of it. I don't care who says it, because you let your record speak for itself. Kidd talked, but many things could have led him to it, from last year's playoff bitterness between the two teams to him and Marbury swapping teams. You Knicks fans need to realize that your team does SUCK and stop trying to defending them (though you are doing a very good job) because they do suck. Yes, my favourite team are the Raptors and Lakers. Yes, they do suck. I know what to defend and what not to. I'm not gonna beat around the bush. If my team sucks, I'd admit it. What do you want me to do? Bring up the past and say they did this and this "not too long ago?" We all know the Knicks suck and the Nets are the ones who have been on a streak of late, not the Knicks, so who has bragging rights? Once again, I'm not just defending Kidd's comments, I would defend anybody who's team has a (considerably) better record then the latter team saying the same things. Whereas if Marbury, with the Knicks current record had said the same thing about the Nets, I would not have defended him cause he has no right to say that. I know you're a Knicks fan and everything but Marbury saying that he was the best point guard in the league was flat out stupid. I'd pick Steve Nash or Kidd over him any day, and so would many others, including you (as in general Knicks fans who defend his stament) I'm guessing. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> He's been a cowardly, dirty man for most of his career so I dont expect anything more out of him. </div> Really? Lol that's news to me. Please name some instances where he was cowardly and dirty, and please dont bring up off court issues, that has nothing to do with this. I guess I shouldn't expect much out of Marbury either, since he hasn't WON anything in his life. Jason Kidd hasn't won a ring but atleast he's lead his team to the Finals, TWICE. What exactly has Marbury done??? This Kidd vs. Marbury thing baffles me, it's not even close and I'm not even bias but I see the big picture but yet you don't. If the two swapped teams right now, do you really think the Knicks would have had the record they had right now? Kidd makes the people around him better, wheras Marbury looks to get his own while looking for ohters as well, but you need to realize Kidd is more of a PASS first PG and Marbury is a SHOOT first PG, which is what seperates the scoring-point guards, from the REAL PG's. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> The Nets line up is full of star players.

You should be ashamed of your team and its management for producing so little with such high expectations rather then lash your bitterness towards another team that's actually in the hunt for something rather then a lottery pick. Yes, there's a high possiblity that the Nets wil get swept in the first round but hey, atleast they can say they made the playoffs. After all, isn't that what you play for? By the way, Knicks don't have anything on the Nets NEXT year either when Kidd, Caretr and RJ are all back so I'm sure your bitterness will be everlast.
