Among the topics discussed by the former Dallas Mavericks head coach was Cooper Flagg, who was named Rookie of the Year after a standout first season, with Kidd playing a key role in putting the ball in his hands and giving him significant responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I think he&#8217;s on pace (to become one of the Greats). So, when you talk about LeBron and what he did as a young player, and then also Cooper&#8217;s ability, you know, he&#8217;s one that loves to win, wants to win, \u00a0likes to work, is not afraid of the moment&#8230;. So, I would say he is on pace. I think those (LeBron and Antetokounmpo) are his comp. Now, can he stay healthy like LeBron? And then I think all greats are judged with championships. Not so much stats, but that&#8217;s the one stat that will stand out. And hopefully Cooper can achieve that&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kidd was also asked about the most important move of the offseason: &#8220;I think the one that&#8217;s going to stand \u00a0out and everyone&#8217;s talking about is LeBron going to Philly. It automatically puts Philly in the in the talks of winning a championship. They could be the best team in the East&#8230;.That&#8217;s just him at the age of 42. He still has that power and and so it&#8217;s just a credit to him. But I also think Philly because they do have a young backcourt that&#8217;s very exciting to \u00a0watch and Maxey and DJ&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jason Kidd: LeBron James Makes Philadelphia the Best Team in the East\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tl0yuJLcG1I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The former Mavs coach: &#8220;The 76ers could be the best team in the Eastern Conference&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":513064,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[399],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[187],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-513065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","typology-video"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/lebron-james-photo-fiba.webp","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=513065"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513065\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/513064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=513065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=513065"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=513065"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=513065"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=513065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
