<font size="3">Jason Kidd is getting closer to some very big milestones....based on an 80-game season, here's where he stands:</font></p>

<font size="3">13 triple doubles away from 100 (doable but difficult)</font></p>

<font size="3">93 field goals awayfrom 5,000 (1.16 per games - easy)</font></p>

<font size="3">692 rebounds away from 7,000 (8.65 per game - doable but unlikely)</font></p>

<font size="3">309 assists away from 9,000 (3.86 per game - easy) </font></p>

<font size="3">98 steals away from 2,000 (1.22 per game - doable) </font></p>

<font size="3">1,227 points awayfrom 15,000 (15.4 per game - doable, but let's hope not)</font></p>

<font size="3">This season aside, Kidd seemspoised to achieve something <u>NO</u> NBA player has ever achieved in his career: 15,000 points, 10,000 assists and 7,000 rebounds. Oscar Robertson had the points and rebounds but fell 13 short in career assists. John Stockton had the points and assists, butfell well short--almost 3,000--in rebounds. Magic Johnson had the points and assists but fell 444 short in rebounds. Wilt Chamberlain had the point and rebounds but fell 2,357 short in assists. Kidd is also poised to finish with more than 2,000 steals and 100 triple-doubles.</font></p>

Thanks a lot for compiling this NI! I doubt any Net fan needs to be convinced about how great Jason Kidd is, but hopefully the national media picks up in this potentially-historic season.</p>

Of course, it wouldn't surprise me if in their eyes this was just another season for a run-down, aged point guard. </p>

great post NI. imagine if kidd was playing with new york across his chest, he would be idolized. sadly i think he is one of the most underrated superstars in the game. everyone easily puts baron,paul and others ahead of kidd..sad but true</p>

Some pretty impressive numbers...and he's up there with good company.</p>

Thanks for compiling this NI. That 15,000, 10000, 7000 is impressive since NO ONE has done it.</p>

Carter, Kidd Closing in on Major Milestones - Net Income - NetsDaily Blog</p>

Thanks, NetIncome, for the nicely put together article.</p>

The most interesting part from this article, IMO:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>But here&rsquo;s a surprise, the player once nicknamed &ldquo;Ason Kidd&rdquo; (No J) is closing in on the career top 10 in three pointers! If he matches his total from last season&ndash;124&ndash;Kidd will move from 18th to 8th place in career treys, tying vaunted three point specialist Dan Majerle! One more and he&rsquo;s in seventh. He already has 1,236 three pointers.</div></p>
