Did anybody watch the Indiana Iowa game? That Johnson kid went off and looked better than Gordon did. Gordon had one really nice reverse but aside from that I was more impressed with Johnson.

And remember how the "official" word was that J-Kidd had a migraine? And who could forget the widespread rumors that Kidd was trying to force the Nets to re-do his contract? Well, here's the definitive word from an unimpeachable source as to what really went down. Kidd showed up at Rod Thorn's office that same morning and he did indeed demand that his contract be renegotiated and expanded. When Thorn categorically refused, this was Kidd's response: "(Bleep) you! I'm not playing tonight!" The biggest mystery, however, is why the media has always given Kidd a free pass — even after he proved to be totally uncoachable in Dallas, only slightly less so in Phoenix, and after he succeeded in Bogarting the Nets into canning Byron Scott and signing Alonzo Mourning. Kidd's bossy attitude goes back to the fact that he was such an overwhelming talent in high school (St. Joseph of Notre Dame in Alameda, Calif.) and in college (California) that his respective coaches let him did as he pleased. Naturally, Kidd figured that his NBA coaches should also defer to him. For sure, J-Kidd is one of the all-time great point guards. But isn't it interesting that such a super-duper star has been traded twice (and seems to be on the verge of being traded again)? And that three coaches have been fired on his watch? Even if we forget about Kidd's public marital battles, it's clear that once the final buzzer sounds, this seven-time All-Star is a no-star individual.</i> ^Damn ether across the triple double Remember when Jason Kidd missed a Knicks-Nets game on Dec. 5?

Well, here’s the definitive word from an unimpeachable source as to what really went down. Kidd showed up at Rod Thorn’s office that same morning and he did indeed demand that his contract be renegotiated and expanded. When Thorn categorically refused, this was Kidd’s response:

“(Bleep) you! I’m not playing tonight!”
