Point guard - profile of success

Successful point guards possess many talents - perhaps the greatest among them is the ability to make their teammates better. When discussing the best at the PG position, Jason Kidd's name should definitely be a part of the conversation. Watch the following profile. Listen to the attributes. Pay attention to the eyes. See the entire larger play plus the fine smaller details - just as Jason Kidd sees them.

Perhaps the most pertinent line in the commentary is "Playing the point isn't about threading the needle through a handful of defenders. It's about finding your scorers and placing the ball exactly where THEY want to catch it." With thanks to Rob Mahoney, The Two Man Game, Jason Kidd, the Dallas Mavericks, and the NBA.
