Is the duo of Wife Beater Kidd & Wince the most underachieving backcourt ever?

Both J-Kidd & Carter were both in there primes, and both were at least top 10 caliber players for sure during the mid 2000s and also had a great 3rd option in RJ who was like the hardest working dude on the team, and even though they didn't really have a front court, unless you count Kristic, but they always lacked a good front-court, but just that Big 3 should have been good enough to contend in the East, but they always lost in the 2nd round. I remembering during that series the Nets had against the Cav's and I was like there is no way The Nets can lose to a one man team, but they lost. What do yall think about that backcourt and do you think they underachieved and if there is another underachieving backcourt that's better than talk about it.

Good thread

I have to think about it a bit, but they are for the Oughts, for sure.

It also shows the importance of having a good front court. Even old ass Mutombo woulda made them better.

Vince carter was overrated at the time, thus they never had that top tier A1 guy...take that in to account and didn't fall that short of what their actual potential was

Kidd was not in his prime. He was never the same player after having microfracture surgery in 04 to repair his damaged knee. The Nets were trash outside of Vince, Kidd, RJ and Kristic.

Their starting center was Jason collins.... Think about that. Can you name any of their quality bench players? Don't worry, I'll wait.

fukkin dumb ass thread. It's like you guys really try your hardest to come up with the most outlandish statements just to get responses. Kidd is an all-time great that always gave his best. Lol @ underachieving.
