Knicks PG not a Kidd anymore

Knicks fans should cherish Jason Kidd’s role on the team.

They may not see him when this season ends.

Kidd, who turned 40 yesterday, said Friday night he may not play out his entire three-year contract with the team.

“We’re going to revisit [it],” he said. “We [would] love to make it to 42, but we have to be realistic. If the body and mind can’t compete at the same time, then I got to move to the side and watch these younger guys play. But I feel great.”

Before Saturday night’s 110-84 rout of the Raptors, rookie Chris Copeland led the Garden crowd in singing happy birthday to Kidd, who is in his 19th season in the league and with his fourth team. He received a loud ovation after entering the game midway through the first quarter.

“It was nice that the organization did that,” said Kidd, who was held to three points, three rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes.

The Knicks hope to have the grizzled guard around past this season. Coach Mike Woodson, who has moved Kidd into a reserve role to limit his minutes, thinks he can play two more seasons.

“He’s figured out how to train, and I said this [Friday], there are athletes that come along in a lifetime that play various sports, I call them freaks,” the coach said. “They just seem to keep ticking. Nothing seems to bother them or faze them. I think he can play two more years, absolutely.

“Most guys lose it at … 32, 33 years of age. You’re talking about a kid who’s been doing it for 16, 17, 18 years. That’s a long time. A lot of wear and tear on the body, but obviously he’s taken care of himself and he’s still running up and down making plays, helping you win basketball games.”

Kidd is averaging 6.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 62 games, 48 of them starts. When the Knicks were at their best, getting off to an 18-5 start, Kidd was a major part of their success with his potent 3-point shooting, smarts and help defense.

Woodson described Kidd still playing the game at this age as “unbelievable,” second-year pro Iman Shumpert, the youngest Knick, used the word “influential” to describe Kidd.

“J-Kidd knows the game just like a coach,” he said. “To have him just in the locker room and to have him on the court, you can hear him always, even if he’s on the bench. He looks at different things on the court I wouldn’t yell out, I know al ot of guys around the league wouldn’t yell out. It helps out tremendously.”
