This isn’t blackjack!! Oh Jason Kidd, you ain’t slick — but I respect it. Do what you gotta do to win (even though they still lost). If you were busy prepping for Thanksgiving last night & missed the Nets/Lakers game, prepare for some controversy.
Jason Kiss is accused of telling his player, Tyshawn Taylor, to hit him. What’s the issue? Kidd spilled his drink because of the hit and got an extra time out. The Nets were down two with 8.3 seconds left in the game … & out of time outs.
Jason Kidd denies that he told Taylor to hit him & said he had sweaty palms. Really? Because there aren’t cameras everywhere. Lmao, SMH. I’m pretty sure the NBA is going to investigate. Check out the video & let us know what you think…
Jason Kidd & Tyshawn Taylor on what happened Via ESPN:
“Cup slipped out of my hand while I was getting Ty,” Kidd said of “Cupgate.” “Sweaty palms. I was never good with the ball.
“In the heat of the battle, you’re trying to get guys in and out of the game, and the cup fell out of my hand.”
Video replays appeared to show Kidd saying “Hit me,” something Taylor flatly denied.
Said Taylor: “No [Kidd didn’t say that]. I wasn’t paying attention. I just kind of bumped him. I didn’t even know he was holding [anything]. [But] coach was drinking a soda on the sideline. I was like, ‘What’s he doing?’
“It could ice a free throw shooter and be a timeout when you don’t have one, but that wasn’t the thought process. I was just coming out, and he was in my way. ‘Coach, get out of my way, bro.’ ”
