I'm liking hearing older players coming out telling the truth and they stories. More and more stories of how they wanted to join up and team with other star players they not that much different from today generation
i remember this story. Tony Parker was in his 2nd yr at the time and there was talk about if J Kidd signed as a free agent Tony Parker would not have developed and become the player he came to be. so the deal was scrapped and Kidd re-upped with the Nets. and Tony became the starting PG for the spurs
Parker was already the starter. He professionally told the Spurs that he would walk if Kidd signed. Kidd ended up saying he looked up to Duncan for taking a team to a championship on his own and wanted to do the same. The Spurs actually set their crosshairs on Jermain O'Neal, who ended up saying something similiar. This is before players cried and teamed up for superteams.
What’s REALLY CrAzY is…I was at that meeting (in a San Antonio country club). …playing drums 🥁 for the “private event” of…again, Jason Kidd’s recruitment. I met both coach Pop & J.Kidd. They talked business for a bit & then… turned & listened to our trio play. 😎
Here are the facts. Kidd ended up saying he looked up to Duncan for taking a team to a championship on his own and wanted to do the same so he reseigned with the Nets. The Spurs next set their crosshairs on Jermain O'Neal, who ended up saying something similar before re-upping with the Pacers. This is before players were so entitled and teamed up for superteams.
His wife at the time didn’t want to move to San Antonio. She wanted to stay close to NY for her media career, that’s what means by “and then I went home”.
@@kb5509 he’s a better floor general than tony Parker . Parker was a better scorer but Jason kid would have the same amount of success as Parker did with the spurs
Jermaine O'Neal almost joined the Spurs during that time too Yo imagine: Tim Duncan x Jason Kidd x Tony Parker x Jermaine O'Neal x Manu Ginobili x Bruce Brown 😮🔥
If you weren’t around back then, let me put this into context for you, Kidd going to the Spurs in 2003 would’ve been like Steph Curry (best point guard in the league) going to a team like the Bucks. They would just be unstoppable. It would’ve taken years for another team to take them down.
They didn't fail badly. LeBron, Steph, and Booker all returned from injury. Then Westbrook went to the Clippers. They had no realistic chance even after acquiring Kyrie.
lmao nah you gotta respect j kidd's decision to stay he probably knew he was going to be seen as a coward had he joined the team that beat him in the finals
@@michaelsevilla3697 so explain why he had the perfect opportunity to say no in the moment then decided to back out after verbally committing? That’s exactly what a coward does buddy. Saying one thing and then doing the complete opposite behind closed doors. A man’s value first begins with trust.
@@whatdanielson because his ex wife didn't want to move to San Antonio because she wanted to stay close to new york for her media career that's another reason why j kidd he didn't jump ship
@@whatdanielson this is the last time I'm responding to you bro I'm just saying that's why he didn't join the spurs enough of the j kidd disrespect he's one of the top 5 greatest point guards of all time ✌️
But I dont think it would have worked. Kidd was a great PG but he liked to push the ball and run, the Spurs didnt run until they got Kawhi on the roster 10 years later.
Imagine him going to the team that beat him in the Finals. Would've been the 1st KD lol.
Ray Allen first

Dude would've won multiple championships for sure

If Kidd goes to the spurs they might have won in 2004. 2005, and possibly 2006
Well they won in 2005 anyway.
@@texaspete33 right so basically they wouldve been to every finals. i dont think shaq n kobe beatin a jkidd led spurs in those times

👏👏😎🤙💯 I'm sure that was fun to see. Spurs4Life baby!!!😎🤙💯💕
We'd love to see the whole episodes of HEADLINERS

Years later Jermaine said that he regretted not signing with the Spurs.
That’d be crazy wonder what would’ve happened to Tony Parker and where he would’ve gone maybe Dallas
@Goodb0b I’m not saying immediately but I could see him ending up in Dallas with Dirk without a doubt
His wife at the time didn’t want to move to San Antonio. She wanted to stay close to NY for her media career, that’s what means by “and then I went home”.
When are these interviews dropping ? Dirk Wade kidd ?
He would have won at least 3 rings with them
Probably not
@@kb5509 he’s a better floor general than tony Parker . Parker was a better scorer but Jason kid would have the same amount of success as Parker did with the spurs
@@Maxjuliann Jason Kidd would've been 30 when joined the Spurs, and he dropped below All NBA calibre about 2 years after that. Tony Parker was 21.
Tony would’ve been traded to Nets for Kidd if that had happened
Nope. $ would not have been equal. TP would have been backup
@@xavier2751They would put Tony Parker on the SG spot
Jermaine O'Neal almost joined the Spurs during that time too

Jason "yes" kidd

Almost KD before KD
can we get the full interview please
They didn't almost beat the Tim Duncan Spurs
Rachel needs to ask about the Mavricks inexplicable freefall from playoff contention NOT something Kidd told us ten years ago.
They didn't fail badly. LeBron, Steph, and Booker all returned from injury. Then Westbrook went to the Clippers. They had no realistic chance even after acquiring Kyrie.
Gave up the wrong pieces to get Kyrie.
Tony would’ve been traded if Jason joined them
No, they would had put Tony Parker at SG with Ginobili still coming off the bench
Spurs would've definitely probably won back to back championships.
This is the head coach of the Mavs ladies and gentlemen. The inability to make decisions when it counts.

@@michaelsevilla3697 even more reason to say no in the moment. You’re making the case against JKidd dude.

He wondering what would’ve happened with Tim, Parker and Manu 😂 maaaan it’s pretty simple to me TP woulda been his backup point guard
But instead went to the Spurs arch rivals the Mavs to win one there 🏆
oh rachel being so nice, a sweep is not almost anything
But I dont think it would have worked. Kidd was a great PG but he liked to push the ball and run, the Spurs didnt run until they got Kawhi on the roster 10 years later.
Smh wow
Tony's selfish ahh prevented this
Would he have taken a back seat for TP. Yeah right! his ego is what stopped him from more championships
j kidd would have pulled a kd 13 years before 😆 if j kidd would have lost that 03 east finals against the pistons no doubt he would have been a spur
Would’ve been dirty
Youb got 3 championship if you did that
Kidd never beat the Spurs because he wasn’t married to them
I wanna see what Rachel’s mouth do
Bro she’s mad annoying stop interrupting him
Spurs probably win 3-4 championships in a row and then some
