@tellthetruthg Sorry if you are disappointed in my reply. However, J Kidd was arrested in January 2001 and he pleaded guilty to domestic abuse charge. You can check J Kidd's Wikipedia page for details. His wife also later claimed that he broke her rib during the divorce proceedings. I am not sure if the last claim was true. I remember that he sat out a game when he was on the Nets during contract negotiations - due to a headache. Everybody knew it was BS that he was just being a baby.
@Dave897456 I'm disappointed in the wife beater a hole comment. First you truly don't know what was going on in their home, he wasn't arrested that I know of. I think he was accused of slapping his wife and under any circumstance it isn't excusable. But I can understand. A wife beater is over the top someone that is out of control wanting to control. One incident his Ex accused him of is not fair to call him a wife beater. Nobody is perfect. Too bad you went their. we were cool until then.
@tellthetruthg That is an easy one! If I owned an NBA, I would easily take Clyde. The fact that Kidd had better stats means nothing since basketball is a team sport and Clyde played with 4 other starters who are now in the Hall of Fame. Clyde could have led the league in scoring if he played on a different team. No need on the Knicks. Clyde was a better shooter, better leader, and better defender than Kidd. Plus, and most importantly, he wasn't a wife beater and an a-hole like Kidd.
@Dave897456 check out BBall ref Kidd was 1rst or second team all D from 99 until 2007 easily the all time highest leading PG rebounder in NBA history . Clyde wasn't just a better shooter he was a way better shooter. You have to go to Bball reference to compare the two. Kidd has all the stats over him but Clyde will always be a favorite of mine. Not more or less than Kidd. So If I owned an NBA team who would I take in their prime? Drum roll Kidd. Have fun with this
@tellthetruthg Good points. However, I don't think Kidd measures up to Clyde in the shooting department. Clyde was a pinpoint shooter from all angles. I think that Kidd may drive to the net a little better than Clyde did. They were both excellent passers and leaders. However, Clyde was All - Defense nearly every year. He usually also had a boat load of steals as well. Good discussion.
@Dave897456 don't get me wrong Clyde was the Sh*** not 10x better than Kidd. J Kidd is 1rst Ballot HOF and is one of the greatest ever. Look at the all time stats leader board Kidd is at the top in every one of them. Now he has a ring to boot. Fantastic Carer. Kidd's love of the game got him a ring. Clyde vs Kidd It would have been a titanic match up every night they met. Neither man gives an inch with out a fight Kidd at his age over all out played Wade and Lebron in the Finals
for todays kids seeing this Walt & Earl being on the same team is like Wade and lebron teaming up the difference is they were forced together and 2 they actually won a ring . They are two OG's that their game would still start in this era's NBA and would give fits to the talent in todays NBA. The Pearl couldn't jump it seemed more than 20" but hung in the air like he leaped 40" . Clyde would lead the NBA in steals every yr. Ask Jerry west. Plus he could shoot and was as unselfish as J Kidd
Fire and Ice!! It turned into the Rolls Royce Backcourt never has been a better one either them guys stretched the court so bad
You'd see defenders flying every which way but when they ran into Willis Reed screen it was over Clyde float another 2 or drill a pass to sprinting swirling Pearl for the spin and in

@tellthetruthg Plus, Clyde was about 10 times better than J Kidd. That is why they names Clyde one of the 50th greatest NBA players of all time.

The Pearl and Clyde playing on the same team was a treat to watch.
