Before the season began, LeBron James told Heat fans that they would eventually win multiple championships. Jason Kidd of the Champion Dallas Mavericks agrees.
The Dallas Mavericks point guard finally won his first title after 17 seasons, ensuring that James remained ringless after his eighth season and first with the Heat after last summer’s controversial “Decision.”
“I will reach out to him. He’s a good friend of mine,” Kidd said Tuesday during the team’s exit interviews. “I want him to have success and be successful. But, I think right now, it’s just being patient and all the great ones had to be patient. They had to take their bumps or lumps, however you want to look at it.
“But, at the end of the day, they all found a way to win a championship. And I think at the end of his career, he’ll have a couple championships.”
Kidd said James was the first to congratulate him on the floor of the AmericanAirlines Arena after the buzzer sounded on Sunday night’s Game 6 and the Mavs began to celebrate the franchise’s first championship in their 31 seasons.
