Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd has faith the U.S. men’s basketball team will win gold at the Tokyo Olympics.
If Luka Doncic and Slovenia don’t take it, that is.
Kidd, who was named the Mavs new coach earlier this month, threw out the first pitch before the Texas Rangers played the Arizona Diamondbacks Tuesday at Globe Life Field.
He was decked out in a white No. 2 Rangers jersey. His pitch was decent, although it probably would have plunked a right-handed batter in the thigh.
Kidd confirmed reports that Doncic’s former European League coach Igor Kokoskov as an assistant.
