Jason Kidd is 28-0 as a member of USA Basketball. He helped Team USA go 10-0 in the 1999 Tournament of the Americas, 8-0 in the 2000 Olympics and 10-0 again in the 2003 Tournament of the Americas. Kidd待過的美國隊，目前是28連勝的不可思議成績 包括1999年美洲錦標賽的10勝0敗、2000年奧運的8勝0敗，還有2003美錦賽的10連勝 But at the age of 34, he's probably not the first guy you would expect to make himself available to the USA Basketball program for the next two summers. 但是當他今年已經34歲的時候 也許不會是你最期待接下來兩個夏天，能在美國代表隊發光發熱的球員 But Kidd, who was one of eight players added to the USA Senior National Team on Wednesday, sees it as an opportunity to both help his country and help himself. 但是Kidd還是在禮拜三的時候，隨著新入選的8人名單加入了這屆的美國代表隊 對於國家也對於他個人來說，這或許會都非常的有幫助 "I'm kind of excited about it," Kidd said recently. "I think as you get older, it's easier to get out of shape, and harder to get in shape, so I may use that to help me stay in shape. And also play with the younger guys... keep me young." Kidd說「我對於這件事還滿興奮的說」 「我覺得呀，當我們愈來愈老的同時，身材就愈來愈容易變形 但卻愈來愈難變回來- - 所以我希望利用這次的機會 幫助我維持美好的身材，當然我也很高興能和年青小夥子們一起打球， 這會讓我愈來愈年輕」 "I love competition. I've done it three times. I hate for us to lose, but the world is getting better, so you like that kind of competition. And I felt that it would be good to try to help [us] win, to be a part of the team that can help bring back some pride and some respect." 「我喜歡大型競賽，我已經嘗試過三次了，雖然我不喜歡輸的感覺 但是世界各地的籃球水準不斷提升，所以你得試著喜歡這種小小的競爭感 化身成團隊中的一份子，替國家帶回驕傲和尊重 我覺得這會對我們贏得勝利有所幫助，」 -- John Schuhmann --
