MCW Calls Out Jason Kidd in Trending Post After Mavs Firing, 'Truth Always Prevails'

Former NBA point guard Michael Carter-Williams called out Jason Kidd on social media after he was fired as head coach of the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.

"I've been trying to tell people this for 10 years now… truth always prevails," Carter-Williams wrote in a post on X while discussing Kidd's departure.

Kidd previously coached Carter-Williams on the Milwaukee Bucks during the 2014-15 season as well as the team's 2015-16 campaign, although their relationship wasn't a strong one.

"Everything with me and J-Kidd was kinda off the floor kinda thing… Him and I just couldn't see eye to eye," Carter-Williams said during a Jan. 18 appearance on the Above The Rim podcast (h/t Peter Sunjic of Basketball Network).

"I thought he was moving foul, and I kinda didn't like that," he added. "And I was as a young kid looking up to him, and I felt like, in a way, he wanted me to be who he was and I'm like, I don't have those tools. I'm not that yet. I hope to be that. Just the way he saw the game, I couldn't see the game like him yet…"

Kidd owns a 388-395 overall record throughout his head coaching career with the Bucks, Mavericks and Brooklyn Nets.

Dallas finished at No. 12 in the Western Conference standings with a 26-56 record during the 2025-26 season.

ESPN's Tim MacMahon reported that Kidd's frustration with the "frequent conditioning issues" of former star Luka Dončić was "well known throughout the organization" before the Mavericks traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers in Feb. 2025.

As for Carter-Williams, the former Rookie of the Year averaged 10.2 points and 4.3 rebounds to go along with 4.3 assists per game throughout his NBA career from 2013-23.
