Kidd's One-Word Accolade for Paul: "Special"
Jason Kidd, the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, is known for his blunt and straight-to-the-point demeanor. So, when he was asked about Luka Doncic's incredible play this season, it's no surprise he kept it simple. But his one-word accolade was packed with meaning.
"Special," Kidd said about his star point guard.
And special he truly is. Doncic is averaging a ridiculous 33.3 points per game this season, along with 8.9 rebounds and 8.8 assists. He's single-handedly carrying the Mavericks on his back, leading them to a strong record despite injuries and a lack of depth.
Kidd's one-word description perfectly captures Doncic's talent. He's not just good; he's something truly unique. He's a player who can take over a game at any moment, making the impossible seem possible.
Kidd has been impressed with Doncic's growth, too. He's seen Doncic mature as a leader, both on and off the court. He's seen him develop his game even further, becoming a more complete player.
With Doncic playing like he is, the Mavericks are a threat to make a deep run in the playoffs. He's a true superstar, and Kidd knows it. His one-word accolade says it all. "Special."
