Basketball star Jason Kidd was arrested for driving drunk on Long Island early Sunday when he crashed his luxury SUV into a telephone pole after partying at a club, police and sources said.
Kidd, who just signed a three-year, $9.5 million deal to be point guard for the Knicks last week, crashed his 2010 Cadillac Escalade on Cobb Rd. near his home in exclusive Water Mill just before 2 a.m., cops said.
A photograph published by TMZ shows Kidd, 39, bent over, being held up by another man, as he left East Hampton night club SL East at 1 a.m. The website reports he was too drunk to stand and was carried out by friends after breaking a light fixture he was trying to hang from.
