Teammate Quotes

My favorite teammate of all time was Dan Reeves. Dan and I roomed together for four years. Dan's probably one of my best friends. I can understand him. He's from Americus, Ga., got that old, slow, southern drawl stuff. Dan's a great guy. Great competitor. He probably taught me more about football than any of the coaches did. He was still a student of the game. When you go from college to the pros, college football, yeah, you've got a playbook, but it ain't that big. Well when you get in the pros, you've got a playbook that's pretty thick. I was lost, really. But he showed me what to study and how to study.

There's a fine line between playing through things and sitting out. I was always on the side of, 'I'm going to play through it.' It's probably good at times, bad at times, but for an athlete to always try to be there and play through things, from a teammate's perspective, it speaks volumes. Now that I look back, mentally it makes you tougher.

Jason Kidd
