It hasn’t been that long since Jason Kidd was considered one of the NBA’s great point guards, and now as a head coach, he’s able to watch other guards with a certain appreciation.
Kidd, in his first season as the Dallas Mavericks head coach, was asked prior to Wednesday night’s game in Charlotte about whether he saw any similarities between his game and that of Ball, the Hornets’ young star.
“I think he has fun when he plays. He’s very creative, he understands what it means to win,” Kidd said.
