As he faces his old team jersey

 Back in November, in the arena Jimmy Wilson Elite Jersey where his retired jersey hangs, Jason Kidd was booed by fans who can't forgive him for departing the Brooklyn Nets after one season to become the coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. Milwaukee's faithful, however, has to be thrilled with the Bucks now on pace to triple last season's win total. As he faces his old team for the second time, Kidd will try to guide the surprising Bucks to their longest single-season home winning streak in five years while denying the Nets a fourth straight victory in Milwaukee on Monday night. After it was reported that Kidd was denied upon his request for more power in the Brooklyn front office, the Nets moved the coach to Milwaukee for two second-round draft picks in late June. http://www.ravensauthenticofficialshops.com/RAVENS-RAY-LEWIS-JERSEY The former superstar point guard guided the Nets to a 44-38 mark and a first-round playoff win in his first season as a coach in 2013-14. Although he denies ever seeking greater power, Kidd confirmed there was a rift with general manager Billy King when he spoke in his return to Brooklyn on Nov. 19 -- a 122-118 triple-overtime victory. While the Nets are fighting for an Eastern Conference playoff spot with a disappointing 21-29 record under Lionel Hollins, Kidd has the oft-depleted Bucks in sixth place at 28-23 after they won 15 games last season. Milwaukee had a five-game winning streak snapped in a 117-111 loss at Houston on Friday before bouncing back with Saturday's 96-93 home win over Boston. With Kidd getting another shot at his former team, the Bucks will try to win five straight at home in a single season for the first time since an eight-game run late in 2009-10. Brandon Knight made a tying 3-pointer in the second overtime and the clinching free throws late in the third to help Milwaukee snap a five-game losing streak in the series in November. He also hit a jumper with 6.7 seconds left to seal Saturday's win, the last of his 26 points. http://www.lionsnflofficialauthentics.com/LIONS-DARIUS-SLAY-JERSEY Knight has totaled 50 while hitting 8 of 15 from 3-point range in his last two at home. Giannis Antetokounmpo is helping Milwaukee overcome the loss of rookie Jabari Parker, averaging 22.0 points and 10.7 rebounds while shooting 67.5 percent in his last three games. The 20-year-old forward had 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting to go with 12 boards in the first game against the Nets. "He works extremely hard on his game and he's knocking down that little jump shot," Kidd said. "He's shooting it with a lot of confidence and you can see, he's not hesitating." The Nets look to regroup after they had a three-game winning streak end in Saturday's 114-77 loss at Washington, the opener of an eight-game road swing around which they'll co-host the All-Star festivities. http://www.jetsnflofficialprostore.com/JETS-DEMARIO-DAVIS-JERSEY Brook Lopez had a team-high 19 points, though Joe Johnson, Deron Williams and Alan Anderson totaled 12 while missing 22 of 26 shots. Brooklyn hit just 33.8 percent from the field after shooting 49.3 over its previous four games.
