In four days, the greatest Net in history —if you think otherwise, go argue with someone else — will enter the Hall of Fame (along with the GM who traded for him, Rod Thorn.)
In the days leading up to the enshrinement, expect a slew of stories about the stoic, heroic, charismatic Jason Kidd.

It’s a good start to the many stories to follow.
