If Jason Kidd leads the Dallas Mavericks to a championship, he becomes just the fifth coach and player to win a title with the same team

Now, he may have to make a return trip to Springfield, Mass., for another induction. Kidd is in position to join rare and elite company if he coaches the Dallas Mavericks to an NBA title. They open play against the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of the Finals.

The others to accomplish the feat are Billy Cunningham , Pat Riley , K.C. Jones and Bill Russell . Kidd has a record of 323-296 in eight seasons, including 30-29 in the playoffs. With Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, the Mavs have every opportunity to knock off the Celtics. It won't be easy because the Celtics won a league-high 64 games behind the three-headed tandem of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis.
