Too many shots period.
Too early in the shot clock.

Lost art. Best in Cal history at the stop and pop was Keith Smith off the fast break.

In this game, yes. But I've felt he had actually been pretty good at avoiding them up until now, at least compared to Jalen Brown.

Lot of these probably are no calls in the other P5.

Smith was good at it, but his predecessor's (KJ) pull-up was better.

KJ was insanely fast and his pull-up was deadly.

My first season of getting season tickets was the first season after KJ left. I plead lack of personal knowledge.

As a four-year starter, Johnson ended his college career in 1987 as the school's all-time leader in assists (since eclipsed by Jason Kidd), steals, and scoring (since eclipsed by Lamond Murray, Sean Lampley, Patrick Christopher, Joe Shipp and Jerome Randle) Johnson was named to the Pac-10's All-Conference First Team in his junior and senior seasons, averaging 17.2 points and 5 assists in his final year. He led Cal to the program's first post-season appearances in 26 seasons with NIT bids in 1986 and 1987 and was the first player in the Pac-10 Conference to post a triple-double. In 1992, Johnson became the first Golden Bear to have his jersey (No. 11) retired.

Johnson briefly played for Cal's baseball team..

muting more than 300 handles, turnaround is fair play

he needs to hire Randle (who is a basketball trainer), to improve his handle AND teach him the tear drop

for a smaller player the tear drop can be a deadly shot, but it's difficult to learn

Randle was the master of the tear drop

Brown also needs to develop some type of mid-range shot, that running bank from 5 feet is an extremely difficult and low percentage shot

I envy those of you who got to watch JKidd and KJ in the Blue and Gold. I only watched them play in the NBA. It wasn't until I was actually at Cal that I realized they were Cal alumni and played for Cal. As someone who appreciated point guard play, I was a big fan of both KJ and JKidd when I was a kid.

I went to several of J Kidd's high school games. When I was a Junior at Cal I saw Bill Cartwright drop 50 points on O'Dowd at the Oakland Arena when he played for Elk Grove H.S.

Anyone know where I can get the KJ Cal Air Jordan 1s like that? The kind that Oski used to wear?

It's funny you should mention that because I often find myself wishing I was too young to have seen JKidd and KJ in the Blue and Gold. Maybe we could switch ages and then we'd both be happy!

Most ridiculous comparison. There's a massive difference between Bradley and Coleman.

I saw Cartwright and Elk Grove take down future Cal Bear Gene Ransom and my Berkeley High Yellow Jackets in that same TOC. Great players, great atmosphere.

For some reason that reminds me of the scene in the _Ten_Commandments_ when one of the Beduins told Moses "I wish you had my years and I had your choice!"

For those old enough to watch Kidd at Cal it was truly magical. You could not take your eyes off him when he had the ball. Even more remarkable was how he dominated games in high school as a guard. Stories about him are not exaggerations (at least most aren't).

The first time I saw Kidd play at Cal he chased a loose ball toward the sideline around midcourt and while diving into the stands got one hand on the ball and delivered a no-look pass to a teammate breaking toward the basket. No wonder he set the Cal career assists record in just two seasons. I've never seen a player with comparable court vision.

Agreed. I think he was more exciting to watch when he was in college than as a pro. Not just because he was so much more dominant, but because of how he was always forcing the action. He took a lot more risks with the ball, sometimes with unfavorable results (e.g. turnover from the ball bouncing off of his teammates' heads), and toned it down and played much more under control as a pro.

Favorite early Kidd memory: Kidd's first game at Harmon against the 'furds. 'Furd frosh standout Dion Cross gets a steal and races upcourt with only Kidd to defend [I'm thinking at the moment that we'll see if Kidd can live up to the hype]. Kidd smothers him the whole way down the court and Cross can't even get a shot off, finally getting pinned under the basket. Cross tries to take a desperation shot only to get stuffed like sausage. I've never seen anything like it.

I was lucky enough to be sitting near coursed (courtesy of a friend) when I saw Kidd go up for a rebound and instead of securing it he tipped it off the glass to a teammate for an easy basket. As he was running back up the court he turned to the scorer and yelled "Rebound AND assist!"

But my favorite memory was the end of a UCLA game in the Oakland Coliseum. He absolutely took over a tight game and secured the victory. Never saw a college guard do anything like that. Saw Eddie House drop 61 (?) but Kidd was doing it both on offense and defense.

He was also a terror in second grade soccer I hear.

We should all thank Mrs MSavioLives, his elementary school teacher who was on him to go to Cal beginning when he was in 5th grade. I remember her once telling me she had a kid in her 6th grade class who could kick my *** in basketball, and I, of course, said no way. Well, she was probably right.

I heard Jason was a heck of a baseball player too.
