That's your opinion, but you'd be wrong. I've done my research and this guy was a joke. Of course that's why he says he doesn't consider himself a Nets player, but you other poor idiots will just believe what you want to believe. Got it?
Buck Williams was a joke? Thank you. I'll know better than to respond to one of your posts again. BUCK WILLIAMS WAS A JOKE? You insult everyone with any NBA knowledge. His entire career, he was the hardest working man in the NBA. May be time to follow another sport.
Your blindness to the obvious is hilarious, and I pitty you. But people will believe what they want to believe. I like to look at the facts. FACT: Buck Williams was happy to get out of New Jersey. You can support that bum if you want to. I won't. Time to stop drinking the kool-aid.
Hey, lumpy, Kidd didn't ask to get out of Jersey in the '04 offseason. Kidd didn't want to get out in the '06-'07 season? Kidd didn't play heartlessly enough so that Nets deemed it necessary to dump him mid-season last year? Buck was happy to get out of New Jersey. But he never asked to get out of New Jersey, nor play with no heart in order to get out of New Jersey. Jason Kidd did those things.
Stats show the most he's ever averaged is 18.2. I know it's not all about points but what did he do to be the greatest Net? Not disagreeing with anyone but just wondering.
Nope, wrong again thanks for playing. Kidd was a great competitor, and didn't go public with his egomaniacy until last season. You admit Buck was happy to get out and yet you still support him. Sigh, maybe you should get a new team since you're not a True Fan.
So, I'll have to assume you didn't see Buck Williams play as a Net. Again, for his entire career, Buck Williams was the hardest working man in the NBA. I know that means nothing to the current crop of NBA fans, but to we oldtimers, giving everything you've got, all the time, was something to be greatly admired in a player. I'm out for awhile, as some of you guys are truly disgusting me. Go watch some Vince highlights.

I believe Dr. J considers himself a Net AND a Sixer. He has stated that he still roots for the ABA teams, afterall.
No actually I just meant that Buck Williams never got past the second round as a NET. But when he got on a better team in Portland he had it alot easier and had some deeper trips in the playoffs, but never really did win it all. I dunno maybe Jason Collins isn't a bad comparison to Buck Wiliams, here's a guy who played through pain all the time, put all his effort and willpower into the game for his team, hell put his body on the line and never took a day off. But I don't know if you could say that Jason Kidd and Jason Collins are really on the same level, but you're entitled to your opinion I suppose.
Kidd was almost a saint for the first 2 years as a Net. NJ got unlucky when Mutombo trade didn't work , then they got unlucky again when they tried Zo. If Zo played as well in NJ as he did later on in Miami, we would have beaten Detroit in 2005 and had 3 straight trips to the finals, in all probability. These two unlucky scenarios put management in an almost impossible position. Rookies couldn't be trusted too much because of the need to "win now". They got below average, older vets hoping they'll get lucky. They were good gambles too. For example, Jamaal Magloire was a former All-Star big man who we got for $4M a year. Jeff McInnis put up very solid numbers in Cleveland. Scott Padgett was supposed to be our class-A 3 point specialist. Ever since those finals years NJ believed they were still in that elite league of teams competing for a title, you could see it on players' faces and even on the threads made on the board. Someone always said "if everything goes right we can be in the Finals in June!" It was obvious to many except for the Nets and their fans that they were not a powerhouse anymore. I think Kidd realized this much earlier than most, and thus as a player, he lost confidence, and everything else followed.
Jason Kidd is the savior of the NEts franchise. This team was a laughingstock and a joke - I would go to games where you could have archery practice in the lower levels. People would laugh when I said I was a NEts fan - Jason Kidd singlehandedly turned it around and gave us all the rides of our lifetimes for 2 years in a row. For that - I don't care if he acts like a tool for the rest of his primadonna life - I am eternally grateful will always be a Kidd fan!
