Nets in trouble again

Their series is 2-2, and Milwaukee has won two of the last three. I'd say the Bucks have a decent chance of being able to close it out in six.

Man, Kidd's even hurting family members WHILE playing basketball...


Kidd's son breaks collarbone in collision with dad

Jason Kidd's 4-year-old son, T.J., broke his collarbone when his father crashed into him while diving for a loose ball in Game 2 of the Nets-Bucks series.

"He'll be down a couple of weeks," Kidd said Thursday. "It was a freak accident."

Kidd's wife and son were sitting in their usual courtside seats at the Meadowlands on Tuesday night when Kidd dived into the front row to save a loose ball. T.J. Kidd burst into tears after the collision, and team doctors examined him after the game.

X-rays revealed the fracture.

"There's always a percentage of something like that taking place when you have kids sitting that close to the action," Kidd told reporters. "Hopefully, he's going to get better. He's young, so the time of recovery will be a lot quicker. He's a tough little guy."

I heard a rumor recently that it wasn't the basketball Jason Kidd was diving for. I heard TJ dropped a French fry on the ground and they both went for it.

Maybe his mistook TJ's head for the Ball.

Hahaha! Oh man, making fun of an unfortunate injury to a four-year old to slight an NBA player out of bitterness for something that happened 3 years ago!

That's not pathetic at all.

That's not pathetic at all.

And you don't think that the Kidd family has it coming, maybe just a little bit? Their PR machine puts Jason on a pedestal and keeps cranking out these tear-jerking stories about how wonderful their familial bonds are. We all know it's a facade.

I agree with you that it's a cheap shot to make fun of TJ's injury. But the fact is, when someone keeps bragging about how wonderful they are, and you know they're hiding the truth, it inspires a lot of resentment. Few among us are so virtuous as to decline an easy opportunity at payback when it is presented on a silver platter.

Who's bitter? We have Marbury.

As far as TJ's injury yeah I know it's harsh. Just a lil fun.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I really did not feel my french fries joke was in bad taste. I have tried to avoid making fun of the kid's big, huge melon head though. But I'll admit I laughed at that joke.

I just figured it out.

I no longer hold Kidd responsible for his kid's injury.

You can't fight gravity...

Imagine the gravitational force eminating from that 4-year-old's dome!
