He lives in LA, is a celebrity and a multi-millionare, and he's going to college parties? Jeez.

Amen, jv. I love watching Kidd play, but to me he's one of the most overrated players of all-time. He's kind of like Barry Sanders: brilliant, but fatally-flawed. In Sanders' case it was his inability to just go straight ahead when he needed to; in Kidd's it's his inability to shoot. And his tendency to get coaches fired.

There's no doubt that success seems to follow Byron Scott wherever he goes, but I am not sure how much credit for NO's playoff run goes to him and how much to his point guard. Chris Paul had 15 assists last night and zero turnovers. That's incredible.
