Vince Carter's 34 points included a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to force overtime, and Jason Kidd's 77th career triple-double included 18 assists Sunday night, leading the New Jersey Nets to a 105-93 victory over the Washington Wizards.

Furthermore, according to this story, Kidd moved past Rod Strickland for seventh on the NBA career assists list with a total of 7,997, and he is now just one triple-double behind Wilt Chamberlain for third-most in NBA history. That's pretty impressive. Is Kidd a Hall of Fame talent?

This guy is my personal favorite basketball player, and I think he should have hall of fame considerations, twice led his team to the title game and has had the Nets in pretty good standing for the past 5 years

If Jason Kidd gets in, Steve Nash and Stephon Marbury should too.

But then again, how many rings/MVP awards does Kidd have?

Jason Kidd Statistics - Basketball-Reference.com
This has a great reference to all of Kidds stats and has his "Hall-of-Fame Probability" at 79.8%.....

Billy the Kid will get in the Hall of Fame before Marbury.
As for Jason, he personally cured me of gambling on sports when he was at Cal, with his erratic play. He should be admitted to the Hall just for that.

He is a miracle worker, isn't he?

Personal Question:

I have never figured this out and my friend and I always get into debates over this...

What is his skin-color and where is he from ethnically?

I think he is from some Latino country.

According to a bio on Kidd I just looked up, he is the product of an inter-racial marriage; his dad Steve is an African-American and his mother Anne is white. All I know is Kidd must have made it his life's mission while in college to separate me from my green. If I took Cal, he would have about 12 turnovers, if I went against him, he had a triple double.

Yep. Hall material...messy personal life though...might cost him a few votes...

I think he is a lock for the HOF. Over 75 triple doubles out of the guard postion is greatness. He is in the top 10 in assists and will get higher before he is done. I think they have his spot all picked out.
