      So does Mike Bibby, but he's still a black person as much as a white person. The kids in this video are clearly full white. Jason Kidd had the hair of an African American person, especially when he was young. Some people feel that Jason Kidd benefited from his light skin and got coaching opportunities that wouldn't be given to a mixed race person who "looks black"

      @TRJ2241987 5 років тому +2

      No....I'm just saying Jason Kidd is not 100% white like the kids in this video. These kids look like they grew up to be Bobby Hansen. Jason Kidd looked exactly like Lonzo Ball when he was a teenager. Jason didn't start getting confused for a white person until he started shaving his head. Jason is no different than Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Blake Griffin, etc etc...most people consider them "black guys".....Key & Peele are in the same boat, but because they have predominantly 'black' features, they mostly get treated as black.....but then guys like Jason Kidd or Mike Bibby get treated as 'white'....they are all exactly the same!
      Don't be triggered. All I was pointing out is that when Jason Kidd was a young boy, you wouldn't confuse him for the kids in this video. Jason Kidd had the hair of a black person, like most mixed race white/black people do.

    Its funny because when i began to play basketball, i never knew kareem or the skyhook, but i was naturally gravitated towards that motion because it was the easiest to use. I learned of him after meeting him after an event and became enamored by him at a young age and I eventually developed the move to the most competitive weapon i can use on court. It was amazing to know whenever I began the motion, no one can stop me. I regret never using it when I played organized basketball.
