Jason Kidd Drops Hot Take on Steph Curry, Nikola Jokic's Ranking on All-Time NBA Players List

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd feels three active NBA players already belong on the league's all-time top five list.

Kidd named the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry and Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokić as members of his all-time top five in a Thursday appearance on the Dan Patrick Show.

He ranked Michael Jordan as his No. 1 player of all time, followed by LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.

"And then if you had to end it today, it would be Joker and Steph," Kidd said about his top five.

Kidd added that he would name Kevin Durant, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal as top-10 players.

Three members of Kidd's top-ten list are still active in the NBA playoffs, although Durant has been sidelined by an ankle injury.

The Houston Rockets staved off elimination without Durant with a Wednesday night Game 5 win over James and the Los Angeles Lakers, who still lead the first-round series 3-2.

Jokić helped keep the Nuggets' postseason hopes alive in his team's own must-win Game 5 on Monday. He will need to help Denver win again Thursday night in order to push the series to Game 7.
