Don't worry. This isn't a case of Jason Kidd paying off a Charles Barkley-sized gambling debt. He's just fulfilling a promise to Elaine Wynn of Wynn Casino fame.

"Last summer, we stayed at the Wynn for (what seemed like) a lifetime, close to three weeks," Kidd told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "We met at a banquet, we got to talking, and she really understands the game.

"I told her I'd make a deal with her, that if we won the gold medal, I'd give it to her. She thought I was kidding. But I told her I had one already, and the way they treated us at the Wynn, it was the least I could do."
