Re: Cousy

["Cecil Wright" <cecil@hfx.eastlink.ca>]

I think it's perfectly understandable how the Cooz would identify with
Kidd's style of play.  In many regards, it is patterned after that which
Cooz has the copyright.  Kidd is exciting when he has the ball on the break.
No doubt about it....and he has others strengths as well.

But I question his heart.  He rarely shows any emotion always preferring to
speak in that monotoned style of speech...almost as if he is thinking please
don't ask anything I need to be honest about.  Ya know?  Like when he
replied that Kenyon Martin merely played the game hard when asked about all
the flagrant fouls.

Antoine Walker gets in the face of Pierce and the rest of his
teammates....Kidd seems to back off from doing the same with Martin.  Maybe
it's because this is only his first year there...whatever the fact....I am
glad.
