Mavericks’ Jason Kidd storms off after tirade over Cooper Flagg question: ‘I know what the f–k I’m doing’
NY Post
He’s not Kidd-ing around.
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd unleashed an expletive-filled tirade following Dallas’ 111-107 loss to the Rockets on Saturday after being asked about “national criticism” surrounding his usage of teenage phenom Cooper Flagg.
The lanky 6-foot-9 rookie, selected first overall in the 2025 NBA Draft out of Duke, has spent much of the season playing point guard despite being a natural forward.
“I don’t give a s–t about the criticism. Criticism? That’s your opinion. You guys write that bulls–t,” Kidd shot back during his postgame press conference. “That’s not … I’ve done this. I’ve played this game. I’ve played it at a very high level. I know what the f—k I’m doing.
“But I don’t give a f–k what you guys write. Because you guys have never played the game. And so, I build players. So, I know what the f—k I’m doing. So, to take criticism, it only makes me better. Because if I wasn’t doing it right, you guys wouldn’t be poking holes in what I’ve done.”
The Hall of Famer and Nets legend refused to answer further questions before storming off.
