Not really. I mean don't you know 34+ year olds who can dribble up a bball court and make some pretty good passes??? I know I do.

Not efficiently..no. lmao

Hmm well I know several. Brains and eyes is all you have to have. Can't get that "tunnel vision," when people drive and zero in on the hoop, despite having 2 defenders right on you.

 

[RipCity32]

Well I've never seen someone do it, so I wouldn't know lol.

It's hard to say how long Kidd will be effective. Sure he'll lose a step, he already has, but he'll always have that playmaking ability. It'll be interesting because Kidd is a rare breed. I mean sadly we never got to see just how long Magic would have played for. Stockton averaged basically 11 PPG, 8 APG as a 40 year old

Never seen what? Someone take the ball to the hoop with 2 guys right on them or seen someone who is 34+ drive and kick it out??

He was still able to put up nice totals in his older years, 11 and 8 as a 40 year old.

See Rip...people can do it, and I think Kidd is one of those people. He'll just have to stay healthy.

Stockton had quite a different body type however.

Kidd will be a still be extremely effective in his older years. Whatever team he's on is just going to need a good backup or who knows a good starter with Kidd playing backup. The only thing Kidd will lose is he's speed.
