Jason Kidd is one of the greatest point guards in NBA history — an elite passer, rebounder, defender and basketball mind who transformed the New Jersey Nets, reinvented himself with the Dallas Mavericks and eventually became an NBA champion. In this episode of NBA Campfire, Sonny Giuliano and Vinney Zambito revisit the career, legacy and uniquely adaptable game of Jason Kidd. Where does Kidd rank among the greatest point guards ever? What made his basketball IQ and processing speed so special? And how different would his legacy look if he had developed his late-career three-point shot while he was still in his prime? We break down Kidd’s career from Dallas and Phoenix to his MVP-caliber years with the New Jersey Nets, his 2011 NBA championship with Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks, and his final season with the New York Knicks. Plus:

• The defining play, game and season of Jason Kidd’s career

• Why Processing Speed is the one Kidd trait we’d steal

• The case for Jason Kidd as one of basketball history’s most era-proof players

• What if Kidd had signed with Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs in 2003? What if he never left the Dallas Mavericks?

• Kidd’s Teammate Mount Rushmore

• Why Casey Kasem might be the perfect pop culture comparison for Jason Kidd

• The argument that an earlier three-point shot makes Kidd a Top-25 player ever

• The infamous “Bump Me” spilled-drink timeout and his time with the Redeem Team as our favorite Jason Kidd moment

• And, naturally, Jason Kidd’s rating on the White Chocolate Erotic Scale.

Jason Kidd finished his Hall of Fame career as one of the NBA’s all-time leaders in assists, steals, triple-doubles and three-pointers made. But the numbers only tell part of the story. Few players have ever controlled a basketball game in more different ways — and few would look more natural dropped into almost any era of NBA history.
