I'm pretty sure we all remember last summer when Jason Kidd drank himself silly, got carried out of the club and then ran his car into a telephone pole in the Hamptons. According to Kidd's attorney, Edward Burke Jr., Kidd does not have to appear in court this week due to the fact that he is at work in Orlando coaching the Nets summer league team. Now maybe I'm just not that well versed in the criminal courts system, but I wasn't aware that you could get out of a court date because you were at work. They wont even let you out of jury duty for that.
Perhaps I'm wrong but if say Allen Iverson had done this same thing don't you think that the league would've immediately suspended him? What if it were JR Smith, Birdman or heaven forbid Metta World Peace?!
Listen, I love Jason Kidd as a player. As a coach...well let's just see how long it takes Deron Williams to get him fired (be real we all know it's gonna happen sooner or later). Fair is fair though; if you can get suspended for saying that a referee missed a call why can't you for driving drunk?
