Kidd is even described as a frequent patron of the water park food courts. “Kidd had an unhealthy obsession with water parks and would eat lunch at Pelican Cove Water park 4 days a week,” said former player Tyler Zeller. “It’s not that I don’t enjoy water parks, but when someone is screaming at you to be his human inner tube for every ride in the park, you start to wonder what this has to do with basketball.” Bucks forward Khris Middleton thought Coach Kidd’s water park infatuation was a plot to get at single moms. Turns out, his heart was actually pursuing something 50-feet tall, made out of plastic, shaped like a screw and capable of sending him into a vortex of aquatic thrills. He really was just there for the slides.

Paul Garcia: Some details from Basketball Insiders. Tyler Zeller’s deal for next season is $2.4 million non-guaranteed. Guarantee date not known yet, but Zeller has already confirmed he’ll be on the training camp roster for next season.
Zeller’s safety bubble was pierced two Wednesdays ago, when the Spurs called to offer him a job. With seven-time All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge declared out of the NBA’s restart in Orlando, Fla, because of shoulder surgery, the Spurs were in search of a tall, warm body to help fill out their frontcourt rotation. A career-long journeyman who has not appeared in an NBA game since April 2019, the 30-year-old Zeller checked the most important box in the Spurs’ hunt. He was available. “It’s been a whirlwind, but it’s been fun,” the 7-foot Zeller said. “I’m just trying to get used to the new coronavirus protocols. Just happy to be back, playing basketball, back on a team, especially a great team like the Spurs.”
