He's not crying. He's trying to influence the refs. Just no way to call this kind of gamesmanship crying where the opposing coach is spilling sodas on the court lol.

Honest to God, I never understood why people got mad at Jason Kidd for doing that. Objectively against the rules and deserving of a fine? Absolutely no question! But man, that is the most shameless competitiveness I think I have ever seen from an NBA coach, the dude was absolutely locked-in for a regular season game in November. No way to be mad at that. :lol:

That's not even the finest Jason Kidd moment. His best was when he was still a player and a coach(I want to say Mike Woodson?) was out on court giving instructions to his defense and Kidd just went on a mad sprint with the ball and intentionally ran right into him to get the tech.

He's got that Chris Paul, I know more than you, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes, mentality. Paul got that straight from Kidd.

I totally forgot about Jason Kidd doing this, the dude is actually a freak. Awesome stuff.

If Lively is 100%, I can see Dallas winning this. Don't think the Wolves have solved him yet.

Luka Dončić just barely missed it due to how birthdays line-up and his teammates going ICE cold. Despite missing the first three games of the 2022 Playoffs due to an injury, Luka Dončić (February birthday, 23 years old) had 475 points, 147 rebounds, and 96 assists in fifteen games.
