LeBron James hails Jason Kidd
After the Dallas Mavericks’ Tuesday matchup against the Houston Rockets, Kidd, during the post-match briefing, appeared fed up with the negative comments and questions that the reporters threw at his players, especially about the dynamic duo of Kyrie and Doncic. LeBron James, then swiftly threw support for Kidd following the incident.
During the media session, Kidd made a statement while responding to Tim McMahon of ESPN, in which he urged them to be more positive when having a say on professional athletes and the setbacks they encounter. Kidd has said that failing is alright and not a bad thing for a professional to experience since they can always get better and learn from it. McMahon then responded by saying that he was only posing a question.
Kidd, then burst out by saying, “I’m giving you a f***** answer. It’s alright to write positive stuff. People will read your positive s***. You don’t always have to be negative. The world is already negative enough. Let’s see some positive stuff on positive people…”
While the video of Kidd and media reporters landed on X, LeBron swiftly reposted it and added comments of his own. LeBron admitted to not having seen Kidd cursed over the time they’ve known each other, saying, “For J to curse, you know he wasn’t happy at all! I don’t think I ever heard him curse. I mean from competing vs him, teaming up with him, and playing for him. Never! He was HOT and, quite frankly, RIGHT!! Love J Kidd!”.
