Jason Kidd left Wilt Chamberlain in the rearview mirror on his climb up the career triple-double ladder. Kidd (12 points, 13 assists, 10 rebounds) collected the 79th triple-double of his career in the Nets' 105-92 victory over Memphis last night.

"To have 79, I'm blessed and my teammates are a big reason for that. I just try to go out there and play the game at a high level and help my team win in any category that may be," said Kidd, who now trails only Oscar Robertson (181) and Magic Johnson (138) on the all-time list after his 41st as a Net and fourth this season.

"To have 79 in a career, I'm very honored. Hopefully it doesn't stop there. I'm about winning. Tonight, we finally did that.

"Wilt, just his name talks historically, it's huge. He changed the game of basketball.

"To be able to pass somebody who had an impact on the game is a great honor."
