Jason Kidd Net Worth, Income, Salary, Earnings, Biography

Jason Frederick Kidd (born March 23, 1973) is a former professional basketball player in the United States who is now the head coach of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks (NBA). He was a ten-time NBA All-Star, a five-time All-NBA First Team member, and a nine-time NBA All-Defensive Team member as a point guard in the NBA. He won his only NBA Championship with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011 and was a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist with Team USA in 2000 and 2008. Kidd was born in Oakland, California, and played collegiate basketball for the California Golden Bears before being selected second overall in the first round of the 1994 NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks. In his first season with the Mavericks, he was named co-NBA Rookie of the Year. Kidd then played for the Phoenix Suns from 1996 to 2001, and then the New Jersey Nets from 2001 to 2008. In 2002 and 2003, he guided the Nets to two consecutive NBA Finals appearances. Kidd was transferred back to Dallas in the midst of the 2007–08 season, where he won his only NBA championship in 2011. He retired after his playing career with the New York Knicks in 2012–13 and returned a week later as the head coach of the now-Brooklyn Nets. Kidd’s ability to pass and rebound made him a frequent triple-double threat, and he finished with a career total of 107 regular-season triple-doubles and 11 playoff triple-doubles. He also concluded his career as the NBA’s all-time leader in career assists and steals, as well as third in 3-point field goals made.
