JASON KID UNFAIR AND UNSPORTSMANSHIP MOMENTS OF ALL TIME


JASON KID UNFAIR AND UNSPORTSMANSHIP MOMENTS OF ALL TIME

While Jason Kidd is known for his sportsmanship plays, he has also had some moments of unsportsmanlike behavior during his playing and coaching career. Here are a few examples:


Faking a timeout - In a 2013 game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers, Kidd appeared to intentionally spill his drink on the court in order to buy his team extra time to draw up a play during a crucial moment in the game. The move was widely criticized and earned Kidd a $50,000 fine from the NBA.


Throwing a soda cup - In a 2009 game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Denver Nuggets, Kidd threw a cup of soda at a fan who had been taunting him from the stands. The incident earned Kidd a technical foul and a $25,000 fine from the NBA.


Backing out of a coaching agreement - In 2014, Kidd was hired as the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks just weeks after signing a contract extension with the Brooklyn Nets. The move was seen as a breach of his agreement with the Nets, and led to a compensation settlement between the two teams.


While these actions may be seen as unsportsmanlike, it's worth noting that Kidd is still widely respected for his on-court accomplishments and his overall sportsmanship throughout his career.
