Jason Kidd: Mr. Triple Double. NBA players (4)

Jason Kidd is entering the twilight of his career. This year will be 35 years, but seems not to care and is doing good numbers and lead the play for the New Jersey Nets team that is currently driving.

He grew up in Oakland, in the bosom of a wealthy family. He started playing basketball and was famous in the playgrounds (street basketball), which coincided with another great reference base would be in the league, Gary Payton.

In 1994 was presented for the NBA Draft from the University of California. He was elected in second place with the Dallas Mavericks in a draft that had the number one Glenn Robinson and which also were elected the likes of Donyell Marshal, Juwan Howard, Eddie Jones and Grant Hill, with whom he would share the award for rookie of the year.

However, in the 1996-1997 season, Jason Kidd is traded to the Phoenix Suns, which would coincide with Steve Nash. He was confirmed as one of the best point guards in the League. Jason Kidd was traded to the New Jersey Nets after five seasons (for lease by Stephon Marbury). A transfer apparently due to a violent quarrel with his wife because she had scolded one of exaggerated their children for a plate of chips.

It is well known that marriage Kidd was never ideal. Jason Kidd has always had a predilection for his eldest son (who has his own locker in the locker room of the Nets). In divorce proceedings, things got worse with his wife and she attended parties, threatening gestures from the stands.

In 2001 changed the course of the New Jersey Nets, who had always been a losing team, to join the number 1 draft pick 2000, Kenyon Martin. During the 2001-2002 season and 2002-2003 and swept the Nets dominated their opponents from the East (in the playoffs in a very forceful, 4-0 after 4-0) and gained two separate titles of conference champions. But in the end lost once against Los Angeles Lakers and again against San Antonio Spurs.

During the summer of 2004 Jason Kidd had surgery on the knee (before I used to dunk once in a while, since you can not), and the Nets suffered a reconstruction which is traded Kerry Kittles and Kenyon "Brutus" Martin did not is renewed, and information by Denver Nuggets (where it has not quite the same, he also operated the same as Kidd).

Now the Nets have Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson to annotate all attendances Kidd offered. Jason Kidd is also the team's rebounding (read well) and triple-doubles accumulate one after another, hence the nickname. It is the third in the standings with 98 history, behind Oscar Robertson and Magic Johnson.

It also has the fourth best average in NBA history in assists per game (9.3). It has been included in the ideal NBA team 5 times, second once, in the defensive team 4 times in the second defensive team another 3, and 9 times has been selected to play the All-Star.
