Mavericks guard Jason Kidd married long time girlfriend Porschla Coleman on Saturday night. Kidd posted pictures of the ceremony on his Twitter account.
After 17 seasons in the NBA and three trips to the Finals, Kidd finally added a championship ring to his resume with the Mavericks in July.
The future Hall of Famer turns 39 next March.
After winning the title, Kidd was asked how many years he has left in him.
“With this group, hopefully another two or three,” Kidd said. “I feel great, and being around younger guys and working on my game, and them believing in me, helped me compete every day.”
But Kidd, who signed a three-year deal with the Mavericks before the 2009-10 season, said in March that he had a contract to fulfill. However, he also admitted that the chance of not having a 2011-2012 season because of a lockout could mean he could hang up his jersey and shorts for good.
“If it was a lockout and it was no season (in 2011-’12), I probably would walk away from it at 39, 40 years old,” Kidd told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in March. “That’s just too much for me to train and get back in shape.”
The 10-time All-Star, who the Mavs drafted No. 2 overall in 1994, recently told USA Today that he could see himself in a reserve role, acting as a mentor to another point guard.
“I’ve come to grips that at some point I’ll come off the bench or try to help some younger point guard understand what it takes to be consistent,” said Kidd. “It’s all up to my body.”
