Jason Kidd’s next move in the basketball world is reportedly taking him straight to the TV screen, not back to the sidelines. NBA insider Marc Stein just revealed that ESPN has ramped up to “advanced talks” with the former Dallas Mavericks coach, eyeing him for a major network role.
From Sidelines to Studio: Kidd’s New Chapter
This isn’t just a casual chat; Stein’s report from Monday makes it clear ESPN wants Kidd for their studio coverage. After mutually parting ways with the Mavericks back in May, the question of Kidd’s next chapter has been buzzing around the league. Now, it looks like he’s trading the coach’s clipboard for the analyst’s desk, potentially bringing his deep basketball mind directly to fans during game broadcasts and analysis segments. What a pivot for a guy who’s been in the thick of the game for decades!
If these advanced talks seal the deal, expect to see Kidd bringing his insights to ESPN’s NBA coverage soon. It’s gonna be wild to hear his perspective after all that time on the Mavs’ bench, right?
