Jason Kidd New Jersey Nets Early Years
Jason Kidd’s career was up and down in the beginning. Although he was Co Rookie of the Year, he was traded away two years after to the Phoenix Suns. Then he was traded again by the Suns to the New Jersey Nets (now known as the Brooklyn Nets) in 2001. Ranked as one of the great point guards in the game, Kidd up to that point hadn’t shown he can bring a team to a championship level. That all changed with the Nets.
Kidd, surrounded by players such as Vince Carter, Keith Van Horn, Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin, started to fulfill his potential. He led the New Jersey Nets, a franchise that has had little success in the playoffs, to back to back Eastern Conference titles. During these 2001 and 2002 seasons, Kidd averaged 14 points and 9 assists and 18 points and 8 assists, respectively. In the NBA Finals, the Nets faced off against powerhouses Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs. The Nets lost both championship series to two teams who combined to win 5 consecutive titles between 1999 and 2003.
