This sparked a debate over whether or not the Knicks' guard should be allowed to have fun during the playoffs. Smith was spotted in a club with Rihanna.
Mint juleps were downed, money was lost and we all enjoyed horse racing for a solid five minutes. Jason Kidd was a high school senior when "Jump" started spinning back in 1992. On that same day, Jason Collins became the first openly gay active player in North American team sports.Īfter 34 years of wearing his pants backward, Chris Kelly of Kriss Kross died at 34. Those same Jets released Tim Tebow, clearing up the quarterback situation in New York just a tad. Smith joined Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow, Greg McElroy, David Garrard and Matt Simms on New York's roster. The New York Jets continued to puzzle everyone around the world wearing green when they drafted Geno Smith in the second round of the NFL draft. We all responded with a, "Sure, why not?" Gwyneth Paltrow was named Most Beautiful Woman Alive by People Magazine. Since there are babies out there that are on the verge of turning a month old without ever witnessing a single point from Kidd, it seems that enough time has elapsed to take a look at what has happened since that last bucket from the old man.
The only thing that Kidd can really take any solace in is that he's pacing Russell Westbrook and Derrick Rose since he knocked down that last three-pointer. Over the course of the next three weeks, we've seen the likes of James Jones, Rashard Lewis, Mike Miller, Shelvin Mack, Orlando Johnson, Jeff Pendergraph, Malcolm Thomas, Kent Bazemore, James White, Aron Baynes and Grant Hill all score at least a point. Going further, NBA teams have scored a collective 9,657 points (assuming the Miami Heat- Milwaukee Bucks game going on at the same time was at halftime, which it should have been). Since that fateful Kidd three-pointer, the Knicks have scored 773 points. He's averaged 22 minutes in eight gut-wrenchingly scoreless games, getting at least 15 minutes on the floor in each. Ever since then, Kidd has missed all 17 of his attempts but still received consistent minutes.
