thread_title: Teams Kidd has played for

message: Under the section of USA Basketball this text appears "He was the only freshman chosen to take part in Team USA's 10-member team. The team played five games in Europe and finished with a record of 3-2."  Then later in that same section it reads "Jason Kidd has an impressive resume in USA basketball. In his professional career, he has an undefeated record of 38-0 (44-0 if counting exhibition games)".  I'm having a hard time figuring out how he had a record of 3-2 AND a record of 38-0.  Some clarification needs to be made or something...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.107.176.2 (talk) 20:56, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Jason Kidd is clearly Caucasoid, and even more significantly white. His father is African-American, but the label is not synonymous with the term black (although in American society the two can be used interchangeably). His father (like most African Americans) probably already had a significant amount of European admixture (probably even more so than the average). Kidd is indeed an African-American, as the term really refers to the long standing community of individuals descended from American slaves shipped from Africa. But clearly, he isn't negroid or anywhere close to black. -The preceding comment was added by NAfr 20:22, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

message: One of only two players in NBA history to average a triple-double in a playoff series of six or more games (17.5 ppg, 11.2 rpg, 10.2 apg) in the 2002 Eastern Conference Finals vs. the Boston Celtics (the other is Magic Johnson). 
So, is this saying that only two people have ever averaged a triple-double in a playoff series of six or more games while playing the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals in the year 2002?  I don't think Magic played in that year.

replies: text: Actually, the rule change came in the 1960s when it became illegal to make laws against one particular race. Yes, it is true that states like Virginia had rules on the books that defined black as having any drop of "black blood," but such laws are illegal now and have been since the 1960s.

message: Shouldn't we wait until the trade to Dallas is signed and announced by either the NBA, Dallas Mavericks, and/or the New Jersey Nets before calling Jason Kidd a Dallas Maverick in the opening sentence? As of 6:00 PM CST, the deal is "all but signed" or "imminent" and is only an agreement on principle. He isn't officially a Dallas Maverick yet.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.76.50 (talk) 00:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Children 

message: As a former teammate and friend of Kidd's, let me clear some facts. Kidd is biracial but he considers himself black so do as such. He led St Pascal's in scoring all his years he attended. He played in the Ametuer Athletic Union since 13 where he was a starter on the 15yrs division team for "Slam N Jam". His head coach was Rick Lynch, a real estate broker. Won Tourneys in Las Vegas, Reno, Orlando, and Los Angeles and at all he was a tourney allstar and MVP. He has always had a Jumper but he was focus on assists as he wanted to be like Magic. his official nicknames are J-Kidd, The Kidd (which he had a poster with the monicker after the 1993 CIF Championship) and Little Magic. He "no showed" on a date to the prom with actress Gabrielle Union, was looked at as a baseball prospect by the Oakland A's. In the 1993 CIF High School Championship, he played against Mater Dei High School who had future NBA star Baron Davis who was a freshman on the team. Played on various teams with bay area players like Brian Shaw, Gary Payton, Antonio Davis and others.
