Following a significant victory of the Dallas Mavericks over the Houston Rockets, coach Jason Kidd had a direct confrontation with a journalist. Kidd, visibly frustrated by the constant cynicism towards his team, expressed his discontent.
"Failing is alright. It’s not a bad thing to fail. For an athlete, you get better and learn from it. […] Sometimes [the ball] goes in, sometimes it doesn’t. […] [Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving] are one of the best, if not the best, in clutch time. That was a thing you wanted to make a big deal about last year. But you’re not making a big deal about it this year because s**t’s going good. So write some positive s**t,"
This episode highlights the tension between the team and the media, at a time when the Mavericks are trying to solidify their position in the league.
