Sweet Nothings
Declamations of Nets-love. Somebody get Joe an ashtray!
Rick James and Jason Kidd?
"Jason Kidd is freaky. There are only a couple of guys who are freaky like him. The stuff he does on the court, you can't put it into words. You can't teach it. It's just a gift." - Kerry Kittles, referring to Kidd's rebound deflection and spectacular passing during the Nets' win over Orlando, as reported by Liz Robbins, NY Times, January 4, 2002

Homage to Jason Kidd
"There is not a more satisfying athlete to watch in all of sports than the dazzling Jason Kidd, magician and teammate and point guard extraordinaire.

"And for the basketball aficionado, there was hardly a more satisfying moment – well, three moments really – than in the fourth quarter of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals when Kidd performed the amazing feat of doing nothing, and lifting his Nets to a 94 - 92 victory over the Celtics in Boston. It tied at two games apiece a series the Nets eventually won.

"With the game in the balance, Kidd stood as straight as a cigar store Indian and, remarkably, took charging fouls with 6:23, 2:43 and 49.7 remaining. They took the offense and the breath away from the Celtics.

"Kidd did nothing, but did it brilliantly, and it meant everything."
– Ira Berkow, NY Times, December 29, 2002


So Happy Together
"Jason Kidd, to me, is the best point guard in the league. There's not a greater guy than him. He's just a hard worker. He always told me he'd try to get New Jersey to come and look at me. I was talking to Dikembe after I found out about (his) trade, and he was like, 'C'mon, Rodney, let's get this thing back together and go back and win a championship.'" - Rodney Rogers, as quoted by Don Burke, Newark Star-Ledger, August 15, 2002

"[Jason] always told me I'm going to try to get Jersey to take a look at you because I want to play with you again. I haven't seen him any happier. He loves Rod Thorn and really likes it here." - Rogers again, as quoted by Marc Berman of the New York Post, August 15, 2002
