These sneakers are a wistful reminder of what might have been had J-Kidd remained healthy enough to run the offense at the 2004 Olympic Games. The NBA’s best point guard showed his stuff when he wore the Air Jordan’s at the 2003 FIBA Americas Olympic Qualifying Tournament in San Juan, Puerto Rico, leading Team USA to a 10-0 record, the gold medal and a qualifying berth for the 2004 Olympics. Starting all 10 games, he averaged 3.4 ppg., 2.7 rpg., a team high 5.0 apg. and 1.2 spg, but had to withdraw from the Games while recovering from knee surgery -- the prime reason Team USA tanked in Athens. White and navy Size-14 high-tops were signed by Kidd on the front of each shoe in black marker, each an 8/10. Gold “5” is embossed on each inner ankle area. Light use with a modicum of soiling on the soles. Obtained directly from Kidd at the Caribe Hotel during the Trials. LOA from the recipient.
