NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
The Dallas Mavericks just keep on winning due in a large part to an old guy leading them up the floor and on to victory. That old guy goes by the name of Jason Kidd. It is hard to believe that Kidd has gotten a second lease on life. Sometimes in sports that second lease is due to becoming a bit player or designated hitter or an athlete on steroids, but none of these describe Jason Kidd. He is just playing great and shooting great, which might give you a pause. Shooting great? Yeah, Jason has worked hard to turn himself into a better shooter as he as aged. Now he is a legitimate threat from the 3 point line making all the rest of his game doubly hard to cover.
He has what experts call “a high basketball IQ.” What this means is that he’s not just dribbling in circles, waiting for Dirk to get open.
Like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, Kidd doesn’t just see the floor; he sees what’s about to happen. The kick out of watching all three didn’t come from outlandish feats of athleticism. Combined, they might have matched Spud Webb’s vertical leap. But the NBA has lots of athletes. Occasionally it’s fun to watch a guy think his way around the floor.

Jason Kidd always keeps his head up and in the game
Dallas is first in the Southwest Division and second in the Western Conference to the Los Angeles Kobe’s and for once it is not all Dirk Nowitzki. They just whooped the Charlotte Michael Jordan’s for victory number eight in a row.
Dallas is truly a team that is two deep at all 5 positions and could withstand a lot of adversity. They have the ability to match up with almost any team, but don’t Kidd yourself, it is Jason Kidd that makes them roll!
