When you were 9 years old, Jason Kidd got traded to New Jersey Nets, and he became one of your favorite players. Could 9-year-old Kyrie envision this day, that one day you’d be playing for Jason Kidd?“No, I don’t I don’t think I could have ever imagined it this way. And this is beautiful, honestly, because I could reflect on his journey and say I was that 9-year-old kid looking up at J-Kidd leading the New Jersey Nets to those Finals.
Question: How are you, physically, entering the season? Along those same lines, how are you approaching this unique training camp with this international travel and a lot of trips over the next 12 days?“Physically I’m great, taking my time into this training camp. It’s my 13th season, so I’ve been through a few training camps.“My approach this year is to focus on being prepared and healthy and peaking at the right time.
