In his first public appearance since Nico Harrison's firing, Jason Kidd took aim at fans chanting "Fire Nico," calling the act "disrespectful" to Mavs players.

Jason Kidd took the mic at the American Airlines Center tonight but the pre-game conference was hardly about beating the Phoenix Suns. The Mavericks Head Coach spoke for the first time since Nico Harrison was fired yesterday.

Jason Kidd was asked just one question about Wednesday’s matchup against the Phoenix Suns during his pregame news conference. The rest of the questions were about how the Dallas Mavericks plan to move forward without general manager Nico Harrison,

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd urged fans to "move forward" after the firing of GM Nico Harrison and stressed that his players are playing hard and "trying to win."
