Knicks guard Jason Kidd is retiring from professional basketball after 19 years.
“My time in professional basketball has been an incredible journey, but one that must come to an end after 19 years,” Kidd, 40, said in a statement. “As I reflect on my time with the four teams I represented in the NBA, I look back fondly at every season and thank each every one of my teammates and coaches that joined me on the court.”
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Kidd is a 10-time NBA all-star and played for the Knicks, the Nets, the Suns and the Mavericks.
He played in 158 postseason games, averaging 12.9 points, 7.8 assists, 6.7 rebounds and 1.91 steals, and led the Mavericks to the 2011 NBA Championship.
He is also a two-time Olympic gold medalist.
