The 2021 graduating class at the University of Phoenix will include Jason Kidd. That’s because the Dallas Mavericks’ coach went back to school and got his degree from the Arizona-based university.
Kidd took classes online and finished at UP last month with a degree in English. It was a celebratory moment for Kidd, who embraces all that education at a higher level entails.

“It’s in my office,” he said. “I have my diploma. It’s framed. It’s something that will be up there with the (two Olympic) gold medals and the (NBA) championship — to be able to get my degree.
