I was wrong about Jason Kidd

Back in 1995 I thought Jason Kidd was an idiot for saying this when he was drafted by the lowly Mavs:

We’re going to turn this team around 360 degrees.

And if this trade is true . . . Dallas gave up wayyyyy too much for this trade.  CBS Sportsline is reporting this as the details: 

The Nets agree to trade All-Star point guard Jason Kidd and Malik Allen to the Mavericks for Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse, Devean George, DeSagana Diop, Maurice Ager, two first-round picks and cash.

It was named one of the new Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.

Sunday’s storm caused havoc in Rio, felling trees in several neighbourhoods – but did not damage the statue.

This amazing photograph gives whole new meaning to the phrase “May God strike me with lightning if…”
