Kidd Praises Paul with One Word: "Clutch"
Kidd knows a thing or two about clutch plays. As a legendary NBA player himself, he's seen his fair share of game-winning shots and clutch performances. So when he used just one word to describe Luka Dončić's performance against the Lakers, you know it meant something.
After Dončić nailed a game-winning three-pointer with seconds left on the clock, Kidd simply said, "Clutch."
It wasn't just the clutch shot that Dončić made, though. He had a phenomenal game overall, pouring in 30 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and dishing out 8 assists. But that final shot, under pressure with the game on the line, truly showcased Dončić's clutch gene.
Kidd is known for his calm demeanor, but you could tell he was genuinely impressed by Dončić's performance. He's not one to hand out compliments lightly, so this one-word praise is a big deal.
It's clear Kidd sees something special in Dončić, and that one-word praise is a testament to Dončić's potential to be a true superstar in this league.
And clutch players, well, they're the ones who win championships. Just ask Kidd.
