Welcome. I wanted to continue from where I left off on the main page, so here we go..

Something else we're all being force-fed is how 'great' Jason "I beat my wife" Kidd is. He's the next coming of Christ the way they're talking about him. It's absurd. So, you're telling me, this guy who put up the same or better numbers with the Mavericks and Suns is suddenly greatness with the Nets? He was considered good in the West, but now, out East, he's 'MVP' caliber? Gimme a fucking break. In the Nets starting 5, there are 4 Top 10 draft picks, including Kidd, and another who was drafted in the 2nd round.

But, apparently, Kidd elevates his teammates to a higher level. What fucking level is that? To be drafted in the Top 10, you have to be considered 'superstar' or 'near-superstar' talent. I don't think he's 'elevating' anyone. These guys are playing the way they should be playing and he just dishes the ball off because he can't shoot. Another thing, the rest of the Nets' roster only has 1 guy who wasn't drafted in the 2nd round or earlier. But, no, we're told this is a surprise team because of their dramatic turnaround from last year. That's understandable, but let's get this straight. Last year they were dysfunctional and had no direction and their players were playing under their caliber because of it. Jason Kidd didn't miraculously come to the team and make them instant contenders. It's a combination of him, good coaching, solid teamwork, and confidence. So, get it right. He's good, but not as good as he's made out to be.

Above all of this, anyways, should be the fact that he's a wife-beater, and he does/did it constantly in front of their son. Yeah, that's separate from his playing, but when I'm told to care about him and respect that he's made his life better, it serves only to make me bring these things up, because of the lies/bullshit being fed by the media. I won't stand for it and if I can raise awareness, I will.

When Jason Kidd played for the Dallas Mavericks, I was a fan of his. I enjoyed watching him play, the things he could do. I was always disappointed with the fact that he couldn't shoot and that he made highly questionable decisions at times. But, still, he made the game interesting, and more often than not, could make something happen out of nothing. But, never did I sit back and think, "Wow, look at how he makes Jimmy Jackson better." Or, "Wow, look at how he makes Jamal Mashburn better." The 3 J's idea never took off because of inner turmoil, but my point is, at times with Dallas, he was surrounded with 1st Round talent and couldn't get it done.

To this day, I still enjoy watching him play, but I cringe every time he puts up a shot, and I wince every time they show a picture of him, Joumana and T.J. They'll talk about how loving she is and all that nonsense. She only stays with him because he's a cash cow and they have a child to raise, even if it's a one-sided upbringing. Don't believe anything else for a second. Now, I don't disagree with the possibility of him turning his life around, but everything I see right now seems like a media ploy to create a positive perception. It takes a long time to mend things like that, and with a history of aggression like his, it'll take even longer to get over both parts equally.

Done.
