Are these links OK to post?
As far as I know they are.
It’s odd for me to be the Kidd defender here. I’m not in love with the guy as a coach or a person. But I just read through your articles, and it’s just hard for me to get worked up about any of his incidents. I guess if you think DWI = attempted murder, you might be pretty upset. Or if you distrust the judge who fined Kidd $200 for hitting his wife. (The judge who had access to the whole story, which I don’t know.) The on-court and lockerroom stuff doesn’t move the needle for me. Neither am I upset by what he did as a pre-draft teenager (when weed was a crime even in California).
Don’t mean to suggest I can vouch for the guy. I don’t know him. But I would wager there aren’t too many Boy Scouts in the game, so I don’t see the need to hold Kidd to that standard.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
