Kidd okay with backup role


New York Knicks head coach Mike Woodson named Raymond Felton as his starting point guard on Tuesday and Jason Kidd says he's okay with his role as the backup.
"There's no competition," Kidd told the New York Post. "That's the way Coach is going. My job is to win ballgames and help my teammates to make that easy as possible. Ray can run the show just as well as anybody. For me, it's to support Ray and when I go in, to keep the lead or get the lead. I'm in the best shape in the last five years. If I had to play a lot of minutes, I can do that."
Kidd, 39, should stay fresh during the season by playing less minutes and he will probably close out games when Felton is not doing well.
