Still Got It at 35
by Paul Kingston

As Jason explained it, he's surprised when his name doesn't appear in an article with his age next to it.

That's why, in a June 29, 2008, article in the Dallas Morning News, he said that was dedicating the upcoming Olympics to all his peers who've still got game.

"People are fixated on my age and my jump shot," Kidd said, and laughed. "I swear – if you don’t put my name in an article and you just put '35 and inconsistent shooter,’ somebody’s going to say, 'That’s Jason. [Steve] Nash is not that much younger, but his age is never brought up.

"I’m playing for all those 35-year-olds that everybody says we’re too old, but we’re really not."
