Jason Kidd’s Son T.J. Has Had Enough of His Dad

Being the son of an NBA star isn’t always easy, just ask Jason Kidd’s son T.J.  Kidd’s son T.J. took to Instagram to vent about being the son of a famous athlete, and now a famous NBA head coach. To sum it up, Kidd’s son is asking that people stop tagging him in anything that has to do with his father.

Kidd’s son T.J. also spoke about everyone making fun of his big head and mustache when he was only five years old. He says even though he was young, he saw and heard it all.

See T.J.’s rant about his father below:

“This happens a lot,” he wrote. “So today I have the time.. So… (*Cracks knuckles) To answer this question for those of you that had any doubt whatsoever. He is I. I is he. The little kid y’all made fun of for having the big head and mustache at 5 at all those NBA games (Yeah I saw it) Never understood it. Think it’s hilarious now. I’m well aware of my fathers many basketball accomplishments, shoes, trading cards and what ever else you feel the need to tag me in.

“I’d appreciate it greatly if y’all would STOP tagging me in stuff that has to do with him (He’s on IG now so TAG HIM). I honestly don’t mind talking basketball or whatever at all.. But stupid crap like this will no longer be tolerated by this page.. You can refer to a previous post of mine if your looking for an explanation. Which isn’t owed. AT ALL. But for some reason I have to keep repeating myself.. I’d like to be remembered for being more than a prop to someone who saw me as nothing more than just that. A prop..

“Unfortunately until I do something remarkable outside of who I’m related to (working on that), I unfortunately have to carry this label with me until then. So I think I can be sick and tired of being sick and tired as I see fit. It took me a long time to figure out that I don’t have to live up to anyone’s expectations for me. What anyone else thinks of you is irrelevant. Prioritize your mental /physical health, treat people how you would like to be treated,” he continued.

“Treat people with kindness and expect nothing in return. If you feel anxiety, depression, sad. That’s ok, but don’t sit in it. Sit in it and nothing will ever be resolved. Everything you feel is VALID. Every person on this planet has a right to be an individual and there own person. Imma go ahead and do that now… There’s always fond memories of the past. We can’t forget to live for today and the future.

“Slow it down if you have to. Do things the right way and watch what you can accomplish. There’s such freedom in being yourself and doing your own things. They don’t have to make sense to anyone but you. Dream big. Work hard and be the kindest person in the room and never look back.”

TJ even commented about the mustache pics on Twitter:

Thank you! That means a lot.. 🙏🏽 https://t.co/3dGZ9MnWfp

The timing of his Kidd’s son T.J. going after his dad is interesting, considering a book was just released that spoke about Kidd.

Giannis: The Improbable Rise of an MVP questions the character of Basketball Hall of Famer Jason Kidd.

Maybe after Giannis’ book it was time for him to get some things off of his chest.

He didn’t mind flashing his ring:

Sounds like being an athlete’s son can be very confusing, specifically being Jason Kidd’s son.
