Does the USA Basketball team need Jason Kidd?

Question

I thought yes but watching some of these exhibition games Kidd hasn't been getting a lot of minutes instead it's Chris Paul and Deron Williams. You need to develop chemistry with you're starter and maybe he's just getting rest but it really seems like Deron Williams can handle the physical point guards and Chris Paul can be used for speed.

Answer 1

No extra Brick Houses needed! They brought Kobe along for that!

Answer 2

they dont need jason kidd on the team. but the coaching staff was not confident with paul and williams being young and inexperienced so they took in kidd. even with kobe bryant the team was totally zero in international competition and kidd has won every time he went overseas. coach krzyzewski should have gauged it already after fiba americas but they didnt, so we could only surmise that he was still not too sure having just paul and deron at the point. so theyre stuck with kidd and missing one more big man.

dont worry though, original dream team had guys like magic and bird also on the twilight of their careers while isiah thomas was wearing a suit and on crutches and didnt even play on the 2nd dream team.  

Answer 3

no they dont. they have chris paul who is way better than jkidd. plus they have kobe to lead them all the way

Answer 4

Not really they could let CP3 run PG or if they want they could let D Wade run point since he used to for Miami and still does sometimes. And D Wade has been on fire the past few games.

Answer 5

NO... they need another center.

Answer 6

I think he brings alots of respect and leader ship to the Team USA ..

But i think Kobe is the leader right now ..

Answer 7

yes, but not for points or talent. He has the leadership plus gold medal experience to help push the team when they need it.

Answer 8

cp3 and d will r doin great there gettin more minuits chirs paul is actually the leader in minuits for the whole team they didnt realy need kidd but he bought a physocological presence and maybe hes a decoy ya never know
