BEIJING — Asked what he was supposed to be doing for the U.S. team at the Beijing Olympics and Jason Kidd joked, "Getting towels, fetching water for Chris (Paul)."
Kidd averaged 12.8 minutes per game in the Americans' 5-0 pre-Olympic run. Paul and Williams are dominating the time in the backcourt with 42 combined assists in over 20 minutes per game a piece.
Whether Kidd continues to start and still take a backseat will be determined by how well the U.S. can keep its head. Something about watching the U.S. fail in Athens in 2004 convinced him to get back to the Olympics in 2008.
