Sorry, but Kidd didn't lead anything on that Mavs team.
Dirk did!
Referencing Kidd as the player that led the Phoenix offense in 97 is laughable. He was traded mid season and played 30 games for them...
Same for 08.
So his best result comes in in a lockout season.
That isn't a great offense either, merely a good one...

Heh, dirk’s my favorite player in the league. I’m aware of his elite offensive impact. Was just pointing out that kidd played a major role on those teams as their starting PG.
And I don't really see the point of listing the others considering that wasn't the question. As quotatious noted, kidd was relied on more as a do it all PG on most of his teams during his prime, and purely running an offense wasn’t his main objective.
The original statement was, that Kidd can not only lead a GREAT offense, but also do so without a coach.
So I refuted it, because it's not true.
Everyone knows Kidd's value comes from All-Around play.
How couldn't he lead a great offense? No one said he had to be the best offensive player. Kidd was just unfortunate to only play with a great supporting cast when he was old.
