Jason Kidd never faced his hometown Warriors in the playoffs during a 19-year playing career and now he’s coaching against them with the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA’s Western Conference…

SAN FRANCISCO – Jason Kidd is back in town, and it’s not for a 30-year reunion of St. Joseph High’s Class of 1992 in Alameda.

Kidd, 49, was such a teenage phenom that a shrine is on display just 16 miles from the Warriors’ new home, back over the Bay Bridge amid Alameda’s Victorian homes. Hanging from the white-painted rafters at midcourt is Kidd’s white jersey, with the subtitle “ALL-AMERICAN 1990-91-92.” That’s flanked by banners from those Division I-winning teams, featuring the names of every player and coach, alongside “32 – Jason Kidd.”

After two dynamic seasons at Cal, Kidd’s point-guard prowess led to a 19-year NBA career. He racked up 10 all-star selections, two Olympic gold medals , and a 2018 induction to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., where, yes, a handful of his St. Joseph classmates did gather for a reunion of sorts.

Actually, Kidd was coaching up teammates at a young age, with the help of game film shot by his father, Steve, who passed away in 1999.
