#7: Jason Kidd (1994–2013)
Few players saw the floor like Jason Kidd. From day one, he racked up rebounds and assists with ease, earning Co-Rookie of the Year in 1995. He took the New Jersey Nets from irrelevant to back-to-back Finals appearances. Later, he reinvented his jumper and became a key piece in Dallas’s 2011 championship run.

Kidd ranks second all-time in assists and steals, and fifth in triple-doubles. He didn’t just pass—he imposed tempo. His leadership turned bad teams into contenders. And while his shot took years to catch up, his IQ was always ahead of the game. Jason Kidd made winning possible.
