Re: [轉錄] Top 100 NBA Players
貼一下Kidd部份
58. Jason Kidd
PG, Dallas Mavericks
Age: 38
2010-11 Stats: 7.9 PPG, 36.1 FG%, 34.0 3PT%, 8.2 APG, 4.4 RPG, 1.7 STL
It looked bad for Kidd in April. He was 38, having just wrapped the worst
season of his life. He posted a career-low Player Efficiency Rating (14.4);
the Mavericks played better on both ends of the floor without him; and he hit
just 34 percent of his three-pointers, raising questions about whether the
improved stroke he flashed in 2008-09 and 2009-10 had been a fluke. The Mavs
gave him an extended late-season rest, hoping it would revive Kidd’s old
legs.
Then the playoffs happened, and there was Kidd defending Kevin Durant, Dwyane
Wade and LeBron James, and hitting 37 percent of his three-pointers, which he
shot even more frequently than usual. There were times when Wade spun by him
in the post, or when LeBron found a seam and tore through it. But it was
remarkable to watch Kidd keep the league’s most dynamic players in front
him, to watch him anticipate the direction LeBron would spin in the post
before he made his move, and meet him head-on at the end of it.
Kidd might have the smartest feet in the league, and his ability to defend
point guards, shooting guards and small forwards was among the three or four
most important factors in the Mavs’ title run. Dallas allowed 15 fewer
points per 100 possessions with Kidd on the floor in the postseason. He was
irreplaceable on a team that had to find minutes for two little guards (Jason
Terry and J.J. Barea) who just can’t defend bigger shooting guards.
That said, Kidd doesn’t get into the lane anymore on pick-and-rolls or
drives, and he was frighteningly turnover-prone in transition all season. Few
teams could win a title with a point guard who can’t get into the lane much
and force defenses to collapse. Dallas can manage because it uses the threat
of Dirk Nowitzki’s jump shot to create space for the other guys on the
floor. (Terry and Barea help off the dribble, too.) Kidd is in the perfect
spot. Given all of this, it’s hard to put him any higher.
One last thing: There might not be anyone better at reading the movement of
an entire team’s defense and passing to a teammate who is about to come open
instead of the player who is already open but won’t be for long. That’s an
art.
55. Jason Terry
SG, Dallas Mavericks
Age: 33
2010-11 Stats: 15.8 PPG, 45.1 FG%, 36.2 3PT%, 4.1 APG, 1.9 RPG, 1.1 STL
We spent the entire postseason waiting for the series when the Mavericks’ “
little” backcourt would do them in. Portland’s guards would bully the Mavs!
How could Dallas contain the Russell Westbrook/James Harden duo? Dwyane Wade
will make Terry weep!
And it never happened. That is thanks largely to the Mavs’ unique personnel.
They have a “point guard” in Kidd who is almost better suited now to defend
wing players. They have length on the inside that can cover for leaks on the
outside. They have a veteran group capable of playing zone on the fly. All of
that helped “hide” Terry, who is small (6-foot-2) and skinny for a shooting
guard, and isn’t quite quick enough at his age to defend elite point guards.
He’s lucky in a way to play for Dallas, but Terry also works hard to deny
the ball, fight for position and chase shooters. He’s a heady defender who
at least makes opponents earn it.
There are no such caveats on the other end, where Terry is so much more than
a knock-down shooter. He can run an effective pick-and-roll and work the
mid-range game, and he dishes about five assists per 36 minutes — a great
number for a shooting guard. He’s active off the ball, as both a cutter and
screener, and he doesn’t need much room to get a confident look at a
three-pointer.
He’s just a dynamite offensive player, and his brilliant postseason in
helping Dallas win the title reversed a trend of Terry’s play dropping off a
bit in large moments.
