Jason Kidd returns to chorus of boos in Brooklyn (VIDEO)

In Jason Kidd’s first game back in Brooklyn since leaving the Nets in June, fans welcomed him back with a chorus of boos Wednesday night at Barclays Center.



Kidd. who left this past summer to be the head coach for the Milwaukee Bucks, was booed and taunted as a traitor in the arena where his retired jersey hangs in the rafters.

It wasn't exactly a Mr. Kotter moment.




But it seemed like neither team wanted Kidd's return to end as the Bucks outlasted the Nets, 122-118, in three entertaining overtimes.

"I have bad hearing anyways. So I thought whatever the greeting was, it's about the players," Kidd said after the game. "People don't pay to come see the coach; they come to see the guys play."


Welcome back, welcome back, welcome baaack.
