Jason Kidd may have led the Mavericks to a crucial win over the Lakers with the help of Luka Doncic, but he’s still jealous of LeBron James.
The Dallas Mavericks may have defeated the Los Angeles Lakers down the stretch, but Jason Kidd still has leverage. Luka Doncic, Derrick Lively II or any Mavericks player doesn’t need to worry. Instead, it’s about LeBron James and his longevity.Kidd reveals his feelings for King In his latest statementMelissa Rolling via Fox Sports.
“I’m jealous. I’m definitely jealous… He looks like he’s 25.” That’s what Jason Kidd said after the Mavericks beat LeBron James’ Lakers 104-101.
The 38-year-old Lakers legend was once again executed for a crazy carry job. He scored a team-high 26 points. His offensive firepower didn’t stop there as he also collected seven dimes. However, that didn’t stop the Mavericks from rising to prominence. Luka Doncic had a double-double with 30 points and 12 rebounds. The addition of his eight assists made the offense even more unstoppable.
Kyrie Irving was the other star for the Mavericks to shine in this game. The handle master finished with 28 points while clearing the glass six times. Their combination of firepower in critical moments was so potent that James was unable to propel his Lakers to a comeback victory.
But the loss to the Mavericks doesn’t illustrate how good James is still performing despite his age. He will still be wreaking havoc on the league for years to come before even considering a coaching role like Coach Kidd.
