I despised the Kidd hire at first. I thought he was a proven failure as a HC and Cuban was pulling a Jerry Jones and just hiring someone he liked.
But goddamn if Kidd hasn't done a hell of a job this year. Seriously, beyond my wildest expectations. I'm still tempering my long term expectations, because we've seen coaches have a great year or two and then flame out fast. There was a time when we all thought Avery Johnson was the next great, legendary coach.
But credit where it's due. Jason Kidd has been fantastic so far.
