Eastern Conference Finals, Game 6
"(The) biggest thing come tomorrow, when I'm on the golf course, I'll realize that we won the Eastern Conference Finals and we are the best team coming out of the East," Kidd said.
The Nets defeated the Celtic's and are now headed to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history.
Jason Kidd got his third triple-double of the series with 15 points, 13 assists and 13 rebounds. Jason Kidd averaged 7.5 points, 11.2 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game during the 6 game series against Boston. Kidd joins Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, and Fat Lever as the only players in NBA history to average a triple-double in a best-of-seven series.
Boston's coach Jim O'Brian said, "Jason Kidd is off the charts, he is as good a point guard as I've ever seen." O'Brian also said, "I expect them to bring the championship back East, I think they're that good of a basketball team." A reporter asked O'Brian to confirm his statement and he said. "I think they'll win the Finals. I think the West is in for a rude awakening."
