The biggest meme of this young NBA season has easily become a Jason Kidd photo from Mavericks Media Day, which was likely planned out as something extremely harmless, a former franchise great donning the classic colors and logo from a prior era. What it turned out to be is Kidd wearing an oversized, short-sleeved button-up with an absolutely enormous collar. As preseason continues for Dallas, reporters were finally able to get Kidd’s comment on the photo, and his response did not miss the moment.
“I’m thinking in my spare time to start a bowling team,” Kidd said Friday, clearly in on the joke.
Of course, it didn’t stop Korked Bats, the account that sparked the collar craze in the first place, from going all out and crafting a funny thread in which Kidd’s collar engulfs him and then takes a self-guided tour of the galaxy.
Kidd, as one of the NBA’s all-time leading assisters, would probably be very good at bowling, but he has his job cut out for him this month, as he tries to make an impression on a Mavs club that has struggled to create a good squad around Luka Doncic since drafting him in 2018.
