<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Of all the players who have undergone microfracture surgery on their knees, no one has had as quick and as problem-free recovery as Jason Kidd. The history of the surgery is filled with tales of blown knees followed by blown careers, whether it be Penny Hardaway, Jamal Mashburn, Kenyon Martin or Chris Webber. None came back at the same level, none that it is but Kidd. It's about effort in the rehab, he says.</div> Source
Kidd is obvioulsy not the same player afterwards. But he's become more of a mental player and it'll add to his longevity.

I don't think the knee injury slowed him down though. He's still one of the fastest and quickest guards in the league. If anything, age is the sole reason.
Kidd is really lucky to not have problems like Allan Houston had. We all know how his career turned out..
