Jason Kidd is set to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Sept. 6, a week from now.
He goes in with a star-studded class that includes three of the best point guards to ever dish the rock, joining two-time MVP Steve Nash and former Philadelphia 76ers floor general Maurice Cheeks.
It’s fitting that three of the best set-up men in basketball history have a few trusted scorers going in with them in Grant Hill, Ray Allen and Charlie Scott.
Kidd played 19 NBA seasons with four teams — two tours with the Dallas Mavericks, parts of seven seasons with the New Jersey Nets, almost five years with the Phoenix Suns and his final season with the New York Knicks in 2012-13.
