it certainly helped, on a team full of shoot first all-stars (who deserve to shoot) to have a past first player on the court to set them up in their spots

kidd HAS to play in this year’s olympics right? CP3 and deron are probably better shooters but kidd is the general out there.

J-Kidd is the realist. I watch him play on tv and it makes me giddy like a school girl. He’s got so much rhythm to his game it’s like he’s playing to a soundtrack.I wish they could give him some bionic body parts so he could play forever

whooo! says:
i think the team usa now is better than the world championships cuz the guys have gotten better and kidd and kobe ware there. but i think the world championships shoulda reminded everyone that nothing’s guarenteed, especially when they have trouble guarding a pick n roll. it’s not just the names on the roster, but how they play. they should win it all, but it’ll be interesting if they don’t, cuz then you’re stuck saying, “what more can we do?”

There is no way this USA team won’t win the gold in Beijing this summer.

Stewie Griffin says:
I’d rather see Caron on that team than Mike Miller.
Jan.17 at 8:44 am
Tarzan Cooper says:
stewie griffin, caron is by far the better player, but we need redd and diana taurasi on the team, we need those shooters. yes, kobe and melo are good shooters, but redd and miller are on another level, shooting’wise.

Tarzan Cooper is rigth, you guys need good shooters like redd & miller to score against zone-defense like all the european teams play & that has been your problem at the world championship, your guys weren´t able to get trough the zone-defense and to the basket

How does FIBA name Kidd male athlete of the year specifically for leading the
US to a 10-0 record, when they didnt even give MVP of the tournament to him, or any US player for that matter?

KIDD THE BEST PLAYER ON THE USA TEAM YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. KIDD THE OPPISITE OF THE BEST I DONT THINK HE SHOULD BE ON THE TEAM AT ALL. THE POINT GUARDS I WOULD PICK WOULD BE BETWEEN CHRIS PAUL, STEVE NASH, OR EVEN BARON DAVIS.

kobe bryant is there star player.
he deserve more credit than jason kidd.
Jan.18 at 9:21 am
Sizzle says:
kobe for sure played better when you look at his scoring-numbers, but kidd definitely is the best point guard, team usa could have, he gives his team all it needs
so jonathan forget paul, team usa played terrible with him running the point, nash is a f*cking canadian & baron davis? no way!
