Jason Kidd
Definition
Jason Kidd (born March 23, 1973) is an American professional basketball coach and former player, widely regarded as one of the greatest point guards in NBA history for his elite passing, basketball IQ, and triple-double prowess.
Currently the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, where he led the team to the NBA Finals in 2024, blending veteran savvy with modern analytics.
A 10-time NBA All-Star, Kidd amassed over 107 triple-doubles in his career, second only to Oscar Robertson, and won a championship as a player with the Mavericks in 2011.
