NBA insider Henry Abbott posted a sharp message on X about Kidd's exit , having covered him for several years.
There have been claims that while the 53-year-old Kidd is a basketball genius, his personal conduct rubbed people the wrong way wherever he went. He also served as an assistant coach on the Los Angeles Lakers .
A fan on X shared a story about the Hall of Famer .
"Years ago, a Nike executive told me that J-Kidd is gonna get fired from every coaching job he gets because, for as good as he is at X's & O's and player development, over time, he becomes insufferable and his personality starts to weigh on people," said the fan.

One of Kidd's former players in Milwaukee, Michael Carter-Williams , seconded the comment , though he did not elaborate.
"I've been trying to tell people this for 10 years now. Truth always prevails," said Carter-Williams.
He and Kidd entered the Bucks at the same time in 2014. Carter-Williams had a productive two-year stint with the Bucks, averaging 12.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.7 steals. One would think that he enjoyed playing for a fellow guard—a legendary one at that. But apparently, it was not the case.
Milwaukee fired Kidd in 2018. He tallied a 139-152 record in four seasons with the Bucks.
