Jason Kidd Club Photo: Knicks Guard Carried Out Of Club Before DWI Arrest

Early on Sunday morning, New York Knicks point guard Jason Kidd was arrested for DWI after crashing his Cadillac Escalade into a telephone pole in the Hamptons. According to Southampton Patch, local police responded at 1:56 A.M. and found the 10-time NBA All-Star alone in his vehicle.

TMZ reports that the 39-year-old NBA veteran had spent part of his night partying at a club called SL East and got so drunk that he needed to be carried out.

TMZ obtained a photo of Kidd allegedly being helped out of the club.

Earlier in the evening, Kidd and his wife, Porschla, both tweeted a picture of the two of them together at the Compound Foundation event in East Hampton. The New York Daily News reports that the event was hosted by rapper Ne-Yo to honor George Lucas at the home of the CEO of Sprint, William Nuti.

Kidd decided to leave the Mavericks and sign a three-year deal worth $9 million with the Knicks earlier this month.

Kidd, why did club management carrying you out without calling a cab for you? You should look into that.

My goodness, he pleaded 'not guilty' likely at his attorney's advice. Problably for plea bargain purposes. After being carried out of a club and crashing into a stationary object-how can anyone claim to be innocent? Then again what NY judge would imprison the starting, all star guard of the Knicks?

Uh-oh....looks like that club will soon be having its doors closed via a Jason Kidd lawsuit.

Funny how life works....he'll end up getting off with nothnig more than a fine, and then will sue the dickens out of the club. Where was his wife in all of this?? Probably too busy "Tweeting" and missed her ride...

That's right! He can now donate all the proceeds from the lawsuit to The Compund Foundation!

Way to go Jason, we knew you were a real "stand up" (no pun intended) guy!

Let's just be grateful that this idiot didn't hurt or kill anyone on the road.

Nice of the club to respectfully help him to his car when he couldn't even move his own legs. Meanwhile, where was Porschla?

What a charming scenario. Fortunately for him, he's a famous athlete. He'll get 6 minutes of community service and a $25 fine.

hialrious and true! chris webber was convicted of felony perjury, and his " celebrity sentence" was community service where he- and i am not making this up - "served his time" at a community pool in Detroit doing community service--i.e.looking at the honies in bikinis and soaking up the sun!
