I think that anybody that gets to learn from Kidd, is a very lucky basketball player. Deron Williams is pretty much the 3rd best point guard in the league, and yet it's possible for him to continue to progress to a higher level, just from listening to Kidd.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Even Kidd, after 13 seasons in the league, is still working hard on his game. After Wednesday's three-hour practice, he went over to the auxiliary gym to shoot 200 jumpers with his shooting coach, while most of the younger players were eager to get back to the hotel and relax.</div>

He better not wear himself down.

Kidd is they type of player that if you don't listen to him, you should be shot on the spot.

He knows his game. He knows how to play PG down to an art. I respect him for what he does and that how he can help other players, benefits the league. Both Williams are very lucky to have one of the greatest PG's off all time teaching them the ups and downs of the game.
