Rare Photos of Jason Kidd

Jason Kidd poses for his childhood soccer team.

1991

A star at St. Joseph Notre Dame High School in Alameda, Calif., Kidd was swimming in offers from some of the best Division I schools.

1991

Jason Kidd led the Pilots to back-to-back state titles and was awarded the Naismith Award as the nation's top high school player his senior year. He ranks fifth all-time among high school players in career assists (1,165), and is the national leader in career steals (719) and single-season steals (245 in 1991-92).

1992

Jason Kidd turned down offers from elite schools such as Arizona, Kentucky, Kansas and Ohio State to attend the University of California. During his first year at Cal, Kidd averaged 13.0 points, 7.7 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 3.8 steals per game and was named the NCAA's Freshman of the Year.

1993

Jason Kidd also led the Golden Bears back to the NCAA tournament, where they upset two-time defending champion Duke in the second round.

1994

Though he failed to win a title at Cal, Jason Kidd was named a finalist for both the Naismith and Wooden Awards following his sophomore season. He entered the draft in 1994 was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the second overall pick.

1996

After a tumultuous second season in Dallas, Jason Kidd spent some time with his family -- youngest sister Kim and father Steve -- in California.

1996

Jason is the oldest of three children in the Kidd family -- Denise was a year younger and Kim (right) was 10 years younger.

1996

The Kidds lived in a middle-class home not too far from Oakland Coliseum. They even had horses.

1996

After only his second year in the pros, Jason Kidd acquired an impressive fleet of cars that included four Mercedes and this 1958 Chevy Impala.

1996

Despite a dismal 1995-96 season for the Mavs -- they finished 26-56 with many player feuds and legal troubles -- Jason Kidd recorded 783 assists and 553 rebounding, becoming just the sixth player in history to have more at least 700 assists and 500 boards in a season. Must be all that jumping-rope.

1996

Jason Kidd may look relaxed here with this family, but Dallas' turmoil ensued and he was traded to Phoenix in three months later.

1996

Jason Kidd, Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan left their mark at the Nike Hoop Heroes games in Yokohama, Japan.

1996

Just a creepy photo for you.

1996

Jason Kidd walks out of Reunion Arena with his then-girlfriend Joumana and mother Anne after he was informed that he was traded to the Suns. Wonder how long that poster was up.

1997

Jason Kidd stretches out before the Phoenix Suns playoff game against the Seattle SuperSonics.

2000

Like some others in the league, Kidd wasn't immune to the Boy Band Hair fad that swept across the NBA. Oh my.

2000

Ahead of Team USA's gold-medal run at the Sydney Games, Kidd was painted in gold. Awkard.

2000

Here he is in statue form.

2000

Just chillaxin.

2001

The Kidds: The family that bathes together.

2001

2002

2002

Shariff Abdul-Rahim, Jason Kidd and Alonzo Mourning hang out in the East locker room during All-Star Weekend.

2002

Jason Kidd, Michael Jordan and Ray Allen joke around during practice before the All-Star Game in Philadelphia.

2002

2002

Donning perhaps the greatest Santa hat ever, Kidd treats some youngsters to some holiday shopping FAO Schwarz in New York.

2003

Michael Jordan and Jason Kidd share a laugh en route to the All-Star Game in Atlanta. Take note of the dog staring at them.

2003

Jason Kidd hung out with Atlanta native and R&B star Usher during All-Star weekend.

2005

Jason Kidd laughes it up before the New Jersey Nets game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

2007

Jason Kidd was apparently asked to do his best Mr. Furley face from "Three's Company" during All-Star weekend in Las Vegas.

2007

That's more like it.

2008

A soccer fan when he was young, Kidd got to test his futbol skills against Thierry Henry at Steve Nash's Showdown in Chinatown in New York City.

2008

Jason Kidd, Jay-Z and LeBron James attend a cocktail party LeBron's Foundation at the Ralph Lauren Store in New York City. Swanky.

2010

Jason Kidd returned to the Mavericks in 2008 after seven seasons in New Jersey. Here, he shows his appreciation for the fans by making a trip into the stands.

2011

Playing alongside Dirk Nowitzki, Kidd earned his first NBA title in 2011, when the Mavericks downed the Heat in six games.

2012

Jason Kidd averaged around 80 games per season during his first three full seasons in Dallas, but injuries caught up to him during the 2011-12 season, limiting to him just 48 games in the lockout-shortened season.

2012

Jason Kidd joined the Knicks at the start of the 2012-13 season. His veteran savvy and improved three-point shot helped the team finish first in the Atlantic Division with a 54-28 record.

2013

Following his retirement, Jason Kidd became head coach of the Brooklyn Nets and posted a 44-38 record in 2013-14. He twice took home Coach of the Month honors and guided the Nets to a moderate degree of postseason success.

Remember that Jason Kidd retired from the NBA in June 2013. Since that time, he inherited the largest payroll in the league, hired and subsequently demoted the league’s most expensive assistant (his former coach, Lawrence Frank), won a playoff series, lost a playoff series and failed to become the Nets’ director of basketball of operations (a higher-ranking position than GM Billy King). Ambitious, Jason. Remember too that Brooklyn is owned by Jet-Skiing Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokohorov, and he and his kind don’t appreciate attempted coups by underlings. And the Bucks reportedly didn’t notify their existing coach that they were interested in trading for Kidd. So as Kidd prepares his transition from hipster-cool Brooklyn to the frozen confines of Milwaukee, let’s remember his good times with this wonderful mix-tape. Oh, Jason. You had court vision like nobody else, better rhythm than any of your peers and a knuckleball for a jump shot. We miss the basketball player in you. We’re not sure we like the power player.

Iron Mike: It’s Mike Tyson’s birthday, so enjoy this superb gallery and, instead of a specific video, just pick any Mike Tyson video here. I suggest his bout with the medicine ball. As it’s also the 25th anniversary of the release of Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing, it is only fitting to bring the two together (NSFW language).

It is also the 70th birthday of former Miracle Met Ron Swoboda, once an SI cover boy. If you can find it, the story, “The Sultan of Swat from Sparrow’s Point,” a wonderful 1965 profile of Swoboda by former SI writer William Leggett, is worth your time.

Brandon Belt is a dreamweaver

The Giants first baseman, who would have received All-Star consideration had he remained healthy in the first half, made a young fan’s dreams a reality while on a rehab assignment with Single-A San Jose. Belt told 12-year-old cancer survivor Lyndsey Dworkin that he’d hit a home run for her and then did so … in the first inning. Pop on over to read Daniel Brown’s story in the San Jose Mercury News -- it's a wonderful tale -- and see the signed ball Belt gave to Dworkin.

Lovely Lady of the Day

We mentioned the BET Awards in the A.M. Clicks, so that offers us an opportunity to click through photos of Kerry Washington, the svelte, radiant Scandal and Django Unchained star who stepped on last night’s red carpet despite being just two months removed from giving birth. She remains one of the most stunning stars on television.

... But let's talk about the Dodgers

As your resident Dodgers fan, I am inclined to counter-balance any Giants love with a reminder that L.A. made up 9.5 games in 20 days to tie San Francisco at the top of the NL West on Sunday night. Things are going so well in the Dodgers' clubhouse that they’re willing to almost set a teammate’s foot on fire for some jocular laughs. Note the total lack of surprise in Vin Scully’s voice as Josh Beckett nearly charbroils Scott Van Slyke’s foot. At the tender age of 86, Scully has seen it all before. And he’s still the best there is:

Remembering great tweets from Darren Rovell

An indelible day in history:

Odds and Ends

Staffers at the Village Voice want raises and better coffee … World Cup ref accidentally grabs stack of cash instead of card (We kid! Be sure to check the source.) … Just six months after their loopy, hilarious live-tweeting of The Sound of Music Live!, DiGiorno Pizza’s twitter account live-tweeted WWE’s Money in the Bank event, and the result may have been even better … The death metal band Unfathomable Ruination will play inside of an airtight, soundproof box until they’re cut off from oxygen, which is a good solid 9 on the scale of METAL … Colombia is having an outstanding run through the World Cup, but it can’t figure out what to do with these hippos.

That was enough reading, let's watch some videos

Note that my birthday is September 14 and I would like the exact same present that this dog received:

Props to anybody who attempts to put their pants on like this, but SI will not pay your medical bills:

Greg Oden will hit you directly in the face with a volleyball:
