<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">As part of its preseason buildup, SLAM Online is ranking the NBA's Top 50...in reverse order. Friday, editors called Jason Kidd the league's 34th best player. It's the latest in a series of disses that beat reporter Al Iannazzone and Net PR man Gary Sussman have said is not going unnoticed in the Kidd household. The rankings are based on the players' "value to their teams" and feature excerpts from past SLAM articles.</div>
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The 2001-02 MVP award. The league gave it to Tim Duncan but Kidd was robbed. If Nash gets these two, Kidd gets that one. Duncan may have averaged 25 and 12 that year, but the Spurs were outclassed by both the Lakers and the Kings. Kidd, like Nash does now, had an indisputable, overriding influence on the way the game was played while bettering his teammates. And he played defense well enough to make the All-NBA first team that season. He was the 01-02 MVP. Worst case scenario, they could have shared it. Actually, that would have been fitting.</div>

34 is a little too low, but I'm sure everyone will say that I am bias. I wonder what they will rank Nash, because if you put Kidd at #34 and Nash in the top 10 it won't make sense at all.
