Only a few days after fellow 1995 co-rookie of the year Grant Hill retired, Jason Kidd has done the same and announced his retirement.
3rd all time in triple doubles, 3rd all time in 3PT made and 2nd all time assists
Well done Jason

First ballot hall of famer. I don't understand why lots of commentators are saying that he is not a sure fire HOF'er.
2 finals appearances, 1 championship. 17 straight post seasons appearances across a million different teams, and every team he arrives at ends up better nearly straight away.

3 times finals appearance? 02, 03 and 2011? Although the real finals in 02 were Kings vs refs (Dick Bavetta for finals MVP)

Jason Kidd deserves a spot in the HOF.
What a legend and impressive resume.
Made a presence on each team and made them better.
Finally win a championship a couple of seasons ago.
Strong for a guard who could rebound amongst the big boys.
Regular triple double man.
Another legend lost to this game after Grant Hill the other day.

Also second all time in steals; Didn't he also win 2 gold medals? 10 all star appearances as well, I think he is a first ballot into the HOF

He is is the only player in NBA history with 15,000 points, 10,000 assists and 7,000 rebounds.
28 - 0 for the USA as well.

On top of all his achievements, I find it amazing that he's 3rd all-time in 3PT makes after entering the league with a lackluster jumpshot.
The best adapt their game and refine their skills: Kidd is undoubtedly a first ballot hall of famer in my mind.

Jason Kidd managed alot of his 3pt'ers in the latter half of his career because people would sag off him so didn't have to worry about his drive and dish.
Wilt and Shaq are amoung the top 20 FT made nba career and both shot at 50%!

My favourite era of the NBA is nearly dead... Not many left from when the NBA wasn't a total side-show.
Old schools guys...

Yeah not many left now TR.
Have to hope the second generation are as good.
Rice, Hardaway, Curry.
Also where the hell are all of Shawn Kemp's kids now? Surely if Seattle get back in there could be a "Kemp starting 5".

I think Juwan Howard is the only one left from that draft class, and he's a walking corpse.
Bit sad that he went out leaving the Mavs because they were only offering him a 2 year deal, signs with NY to a 3 year deal and then retires one year into that contract.
Props though for leaving 2 years worth of money on the table but still should've never left Dallas.
