As a player, I can tell them they don't want to rush to become a coach, because there is a lot that goes on. This is all something new to me. You can talk to a lot of the coaches... and they can tell you. Until you go through it, then you can understand what it's all about.

Jason Kidd

There's always room for improvement. We have a nucleus that's pretty good. You want players that will help.

Jason Kidd

We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees.

The two things that are probably tied for first are winning a championship with the Mavericks and also being able to win a gold medal - two gold medals with Team USA.

A lot of late nights in the gym, a lot of early mornings, especially when your friends are going out, you're going to the gym, those are the sacrifices that you have to make if you want to be an NBA basketball player.

Jason Kidd

I was just one piece of the puzzle, a very small piece at that. I really enjoyed my time with the Knicks, and we had a great run.

Jason Kidd

A lot of things get misinterpreted with me, I guess.

Jason Kidd

It was part of my recruiting to go to Cal because they knew I loved to play baseball. I don't know if I was good enough to make the team, but I worked out with the guys, and it was a lot of fun.

Jason Kidd

I wasn't a guy who looked to score first. It was to get your teammates involved, to understand time and clock management and having fun with your teammates.

Jason Kidd

Apple has the radio stations, so I go R&B in the morning, and then I'll go with some hip-hop before the game. But after the game, it's more meditation music. It's not artists; it's more whatever is being played.

Jason Kidd

I don't know if we have any action going on, so there shouldn't be anybody worried about the rumors if it entails the Milwaukee Bucks. This is our team.

Jason Kidd

When I was a little kid I used to play with guys twice my age, so, I was the last one picked, so if I picked I knew that I had to get the ball to the scorer if I wanted to stay on the court, so that was pretty much my job.

Jason Kidd

I came in the league as not a shooter, not a scorer. My game was to play defense and make my teammates better. The most important stat to me was that left column - winning. Nothing else matters.

Jason Kidd

As a player, I could have the ball in my hands; I could kind of dictate what happens. I'm still learning, a young coach with young players. Sometimes I'm going to see things. They're not going to see what I see. So it's being able to translate that and help them see what I'm seeing.

Jason Kidd

When you look at myself, I'm a coach, and that's what it's all about. When you're a player, you get criticized, and when you're a coach, you get criticized even more because it's about wins and losses.

Jason Kidd

I think the big thing with O.J. - I've known him since he was in high school - and he's a great kid, loves the game of basketball.

Jason Kidd

I think we're going in the right direction.

Jason Kidd

This is a tremendous opportunity to be named head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, and it's a role I have been studying for over the course of my playing days.

Jason Kidd

Someone gave me great advice. That when you're looked on as a pioneer, or you start a trend, you're not always going to benefit from it.

Jason Kidd

I play on all the consoles, but Xbox, mostly. I'm versatile, though, so whatever's going on, I'll take care of it.

Jason Kidd

The Knicks, they're a very talented team.
