Dame is arguable. You'd pick a prime Westbrook over Kidd? Never. Literally, never.

I don’t think it started in mid-November. Wasn’t it Halloween, at the latest? I know it’s only two weeks but #AllWeeksMatter right now

Kidd made the Nets contenders in the East
Nash made the Suns contenders in the West
Kidd was a perennial first round exit when he played in the west
As a Maverick the second time around, he was left for dead by CP in the playoffs. It was nothing short of amazing that he came back down the road and helped them get a ring. I give him credit for that

Crazy thing is, Kidd as damn near a 40 year old on that Mavs finals run is better than 90% of the PGs today.

and the East was awful in the mid 2000s. First team to 80 won games. And he won what 1 game in the finals?

Kidd had a 15% usage rate on his own team but he would be better than 90% of the PGs today.
nahhhh
nahhhh

Yeah, East was a atrocious in that era. Nobody took the Suns seriously when Kidd was there. The blonde hair also takes away from his case

I'm biased because I'm a Nash Stan,
But I think he was an offensive ecosystem that would flourish in any era. Dude was so good as a shooter and passer, a walking 55 to 60 wins in his prime, 50/40/90, dude was amazing.

Every teams has 2-3 PGs on their roster, being better than 90% of them means that a 40 year old Jason Kidd would be a top 10 PG in the league right now. I get what you're saying, even a forty-year-old Jason Kidd that wasn't washed but there's no need to come out with the outlandish stuff.

Kidd was operating as a 3 and D shooting guard that year.

Not. Even. Close.

Exactly Kidd was a limited role player at that point.

Sounds like a PG that plays in New Orleans right now

People’s infatuation with pass first PGs is baffling

Put me down for Kidd, for being the face of teams making deep playoff runs and for being higher on the list of triple doubles than the others mentioned (not to mention 4th overall, possibly 5th if Lebby eventually passes him).
Kidd did what PGs are supposed to do: Run. The. Offense. He was the perennial 'basketball quarterback.' The fact that he was a great rebounder put the ball directly in the hands of who the offense needs to have the ball anyways. It just skipped a step, so instead of a F or C grabbing the board and finding him, he's already got it and they can run.

Not taking Kidd over Nash

With the role of today's PGs, Nash would be a near 30PPG scorer. On top of being an incredible facilitator.

Jason Kidd 2nd best PG??? He’s not even top 5 at the position

I’d take tony Parker over kidd

It's just how the game evolved. Plus you look at the 2000's and the score first point guards (Francis, Marbury, Gil, BD) and it seems like the perception on them was you couldn't make deep playoff runs with that prototype
We're in a new era though, been in one for a while

tony Parker and billups won as score first PGs. Bibby and stoudamire played on tough teams.
give me the guy that can put pressure on the defense.
