Still, says the Nets' backup point guard, sitting for most of the season was difficult and frustrating. He doesn't expect more of the same this season, promising better decision-making and defense.

After all of the skeletons tossed out about Kidd by his soon to be ex-wife, I find the statement that Kidd made him a better person extremely hilarious. As in, damn, how screwed up was Marcus if Kidd made him a better person.

</p> i know it was summer league but i saw hardly any improvement on his defense. He still has time, but the season is coming soon.</p>

You can say "wait till we see it on the court", but keep in mind that our second highest paid player is in near-constant denial of his weaknesses. At least Marcus admits that his defense needs work, and that it's his first priority.
Did this interviewer ever hear of a follow up question? MW: Kidd made me a better person. Normal interviewer: Really? How so?
MW: I need to make better decisions and play better defense. Q: So what are you working on this offseason? MW: Getting in the lane and shooting high bank shots.
