Kidd: Triple Doubles Proof I Am 'Involved - Really Involved - In the Game'

[NJNetz]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">As Jason Kidd moves inexorably toward joining Oscar Robertson and Magic Johnson in the point guard pantheon, he has begun talking about the meaning of the triple double. It's not so much the statistic, he says, as what it proves: "It tells me that I was involved – really involved – in the game." Kidd needs one more triple double to tie Wilt Chamberlain but he is unlikely to match the Big O or Magic. Still, as Adrian Wojnarowski points out, he has met his goal.</div>

"That's disrespecting the game," Kidd said. "That's how I see it. If it happens, it happens. If you disrespect the game, though, sooner or later it will come back to get you." </div>

Too bad Bob Sura and Ricky Davis didn't think. I guess they learned their lesson, after each was trashed for a while.

Soon, Kidd will move into third place and stay there a long, long time</div>
