Jason Kidd's third coaching stop in the NBA is shaping up to be his most successful. After stints with the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks, he is posting the best winning percentage of his coaching career with the Dallas Mavericks.

When reflecting on how he has grown as a coach to The Athletic's Sam Amick, Kidd added an interesting tidbit about how he doesn't get any credit for his role in developing Giannis Antetokounmpo into one of the best players in the NBA during his time as the Bucks' head coach.

Yeah, it’s just to be honest with those guys, teach them a little defense and help them be successful. I don’t have to be hard. We don’t have to win every possession. But we want to compete. And just understand that my job is to help you. What are your goals? I did that in Milwaukee. I helped build one of the best players in the world (in Antetokounmpo), which some people give me credit (for) and some don’t — some don’t want to, whatever the fact.

While Antetokounmpo did indeed develop well under Kidd, who was one of the first people to realize how unstoppable he would be as a ball-handler, he also stymied the development of his jump shot, which was promising at the start of his career. His Bucks teams also always came up short of their potential and Kidd treated his players poorly on many occasions.

Both sides are onto different things now. Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to a championship and he continues to reach new heights as a player. Now, Kidd will try to help Luka Doncic and the Mavs take home the title.
