A 13-year veteran, Kidd is playing some of the best ball of his career. In New Jersey's first-round win over Toronto, Kidd averaged 14.0 points, 13.2 assists and 10 rebounds, joining Wilt Chamberlain and Johnson as the only players to average a triple-double in a series more than once. Kidd also did it in 2002 in the Eastern Conference finals against Boston.
He may need another one for the Nets to knock off LeBron James and the second-seeded Cavaliers.
"In order for them to win he has to play well,'' James said. "We know that and they know that. They needed every last one of those triple-doubles in that (Toronto) series. You don't get an opportunity to see that in a lifetime, a guy average a triple-double in a series.
