Jason Kidd is one of the greatest basketball minds, the game has ever witnessed. His ability to control an entire game at the point guard position gave many of his team's the blueprint for success and his on-court vision is every coach's dream. Kidd was drafted second overall by the Dallas Mavericks in the 1994 NBA Draft and instantaneously became the leader of that franchise.
Unfortunately, Kidd was not able to make an NBA Finals appearance until he the 2001-2002 NBA season with the New Jersey Nets. Kidd led the team to two straight Finals but lost both series, it wasn't until he was 38-years-old until he won his first NBA Championship against the Lebron James-led Miami Heat. Jason Kidd will forever be remembered as one of the league's most efficient point guards as he's ranked second on the all-time lists for career steals and assists.
