Jason Kidd may or may not have gotten his coach fired when he was with the New Jersey Nets. We'll leave that up to your judgment. He DEFINITELY had beef with coaches, though, and carried it with him through several different stops as an NBA player.

    "We played golf" will be my go-to line if I ever have beef with someone lol
  • @KidFresh71
    Not gonna lie, Kidd sounds like a real piece of work.
  • @773p
    “I wasnt yelling it’s your fault for listening” greatest defense ever 😩🤣🤷🏾‍♂️
  • @Riles3152
    A pretty weird dichotomy how one of the most unselfish, prototypical PG’s in NBA history, who made everyone on his team better as a floor general everywhere he went, could also seemingly carry himself in such a selfish, almost toxic like manner off the court and within the organization. Some of these stories make Terrell Owens look like Tim Duncan by comparison 😩

    As a diehard Nets fan the three year run of Kidd and Kenyon Martin doesn’t get enough retrospective attention outside of NJ. Those teams are legendary here and the stories, from the turnaround, to the beefs with ownership, the playoff dominance, the off-court dramas, the move and more have never been fully mined. Obviously biased, but I think that could make for a hell of an interesting doc.

    Loved Jason Kidd as a player. Great mind. He had a lot of influence too. But as a coach, I really wish he'd just be an assistant. Though it would be funny if a "coach killer" like him gets canned in the same way, especially if the Mavs don't improve. Then he'll know how that feels. 😅
  • @mooingAlong
    The fact that he played with braces in college is an achievement we should recognize.
  • @GoodTimerCO
    summary: kidd acted like a grown ass kid his entire career. got it.
  • @playlist1883
    I feel like this video confirms that Jason Kidd is kinda frightening. I can't imagine what it was like to be married to this guy.
  • "Coach Killer" is one of those things that, just the fact that you are accused of it, kinda already makes it true. Honorable mention: Deron Williams (RIP Jerry Sloan)

    I had no idea that Kidd got the Bucks coach fired so he could coach the Bucks. Always learning something with Secret Base.

    It’s bittersweet when Secretbase covers the early 2k New Jersey Nets. Back to back finals appearances. Then 20 years later we probably have the greatest scoring team ever and the opportunity slips again. I do think we are headed in the right direction w the rebuild and some of these young players.

    Seth and Secret Base, you mad geniuses... I can't believe you ended the video on a real life cliffhanger
  • @usa5439
    These beef videos are probably my favorite series on all YouTube
