Jason Kidd Will Have Nets Jersey Retired Oct. 17T

 ​

The Brooklyn Nets will retire the No. 5 jersey of Jason Kidd on Oct. 17 against the Miami Heat.
 
“This is a very humbling honor and one that I will always cherish," Kidd said in a statement. "There can be no greater recognition of an athlete's time with any team than to have his number retired, and this gesture by the Nets organization validates a very significant portion of my career that was spent as a player with this franchise."
Kidd becomes the sixth player in franchise history have his number raised to the rafters, joining Drazen Petrovic (#3), John Williamson (#23), Bill Melchionni (#25), Julius Erving (#32) and Charles ‘Buck’ Williams (#52), who was the most recent honoree in April, 1999.
 
Kidd, who captained the Nets to two consecutive NBA Finals appearances in 2002 and 2003, played in 506 games over six and a half seasons for New Jersey, averaging 14.6 points, 9.1 assists and 7.2 rebounds per game.
 
With the Nets, Kidd was selected to five All-Star teams and led the team to six consecutive playoff
appearances.
