Kidd: There’s ‘good trust, good relationship’ between Dončić, Brunson
When he was playing with the Mavericks and a championship was a legitimate goal, Jason Kidd had an assortment of backcourt mates.
Bigger ones, like DeShawn Stevenson and Corey Brewer.
Smaller ones, like Jason Terry and J.J. Barea.
As it developed, pairing with smaller guards was when the Mavericks were most effective.
What Kidd learned was, at 6-4, he could run the team offensively and was big enough to help the smaller guards on the defensive end if the situation required it.
A decade later, Kidd sees a similar process evolving for this new generation of Mavericks.
Luka Don\u010di\u0107 is already established as a superstar in the NBA. And he has the luxury of being a 6-7 point guard.
