Jason Kidd took his lumps as a head coach with the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks.
Even his first few seasons in Dallas were mired with disappointment. It now seems that everything is clicking for the former New Jersey Net.
While many Nets fans can't help but root against a Maverick squad with Kyrie Irving, Kidd's presence and leadership has as much to do with Dallas' championship chase as anything.
Getting Irving focused on basketball and content is a Herculean task. Just ask all his former coaches including: Byron Scott, Mike Brown, Ty Lue, David Blatt, Brad Stevens, Steve Nash, and Jacque Vaughn.
Irving has always had a contentious relationship with many coaches, but Kidd seems to be the magic elixir to get the most out of the talented guard.
The kinship that both share during their separate playing careers with the Nets inextricably links them.
Irving and Luka Doncic are jiving like coffee and creamer right now.
On the doorstep of an NBA finals appearance, Kidd Can officially cement himself as an all-time great coach to go alongside a legendary NBA playing career.
