NBA Fans Are Horrified By The Revelation That Jason Kidd Made The Bucks Practice On Christmas

It’s no secret that Jason Kidd wasn’t really a “player’s coach” during his time with the Milwaukee Bucks. But the latest anecdote of his Bucks tenure is leaving fans calling for his head.

In Giannis Antetokounmpo’s biography, which was recently released, he detailed the Bucks days when Kidd was the head coach.

According to the book, when the Bucks had a disappointing loss shortly before Christmas, Jason Kidd rounded up the team to let them know they were having an impromptu practice on Christmas Eve.

Obviously this left players upset.

I read the new Giannis biography that is coming out tomorrow. My biggest takeaway is that Jason Kidd should not be be allowed to be around other people let alone coach an NBA team. The worst story is his response to a team loss on the day before Christmas Eve. pic.twitter.com/SYdwfX3t9t

After the excerpt was spread all over social media, fans swarmed with a bunch of hate talk for the new Mavericks head coach, Jason Kidd.

Jason Kidd: "See you at practice tomorrow."

Zaza Pachulia: "But Coach, it's Christmas Eve!"

These excerpts of Jason Kidd’s coaching in Milwaukee are a sad indication of what coaches used to think was “good” coaching. It’s really just egotistical meandering without any goal whatsoever. https://t.co/uaGptMLWWD

It’s almost as if Jason Kidd has a history of abuse from a position of power. I wonder if it’s been documented anywhere outside of basketball. https://t.co/O3360ceIC5

Honestly, I don’t really think Jason Kidd holding a morning practice on Christmas Eve is the end of the world.

All the Bucks players were likely back home for Christmas dinner, and they were there to give the kids presents and do the whole thing the following morning.

People are continuously looking for a reason to throw the old-school mentality out the window with the new-age bringing on a more player friendly coaching atmosphere.

It’ll be interesting to see if Jason Kidd changes his approach with the Mavs.
