What a book.

Spoiler:
-she did an excellent job of capturing the despair of bucks fandom from the 90s up through the ascent of Giannis. Perpetual 8th seed, the Kohl duality, the arena struggle, it's all in here.
-PP25 and ESBF, thank you. Great to see you in there.
-How the Antetokounmpos persevered through their daily struggles in Greece is one of the stories for the century.
-I'm sorry I used to mock you, Larry Drew. Hell of a guy.
-Was hoping for more Kidd scuttlebutt, but there's some good (godawful) stuff here. Good luck, Mavs!


We love you, Giannis

Kidd was truly one of the worst hires in this franchises history. Larry on this team would have been amazing.

Larry still bears a lot of personal responsibility for how his tenure here ended, but I think we finally found the reason why he essentially left the team in December 2014.

Jason Kidd is a piece of ****. I always that he was jealous of giannis and played psychological games to make his path even harder. Giannis is successful despite Kidd. I think his Kidd praise was false.giannis will always say the correct thing in public

You know what's even more impressive than taking a 15 win team to 41-41? Taking a franchise that was 139-152 under Jason Kidd to 60-22 in your first season. GTFOH with any praise for him.

Kidd certainly doesn't deserve his own thread here. He's a POS. He's Dallas's problem. We've moved on.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.
