What separates Kidd and GP from other PGs was they were elite defensive players. A lot of the other great PGs were great offensively but mediocre on defense. Kidd and GP were both 9x All-Defense players

[@nathanprentiss7578]

Was also during hand check days don’t wanna take too much away from them because they were both dogs defensively, but they wouldn’t be as effective with todays rules which is pretty unfortunate.

[@wuliwei6939]

Glad both of them got a ring

And a gold olympic medal

[@O_fata_simpla260]

GP , my favourite player growing up.

[@perryrobinson1146]

Two great point guards and its good to see that respect, honesty, and bond from one another thats what its all about I think that made them both better players much respect

Who was better? Kidd or GP?

[@Brian00007]

Gp

[@tiagofernandes8389]

Kidd and that's not even close.

[@O_fata_simpla260]

GP. Better scorer and slight better defender . Kidd the better passer.

[@O_fata_simpla260]

​@@tiagofernandes8389 You must be kidding me by saying not even close. They're very close, and I'll give the edge to GP.
