It's harder for Paul to dominate in a much more physical game out in the perimeter. No touch fouls here young'n. Deron has the strength and a true jumper to really be USA's point guard of the present and the future.

Paul is very underrated in strength. When Kidd was backing him down in the first round of the playoffs he was holding his ground. And when he is so fast..it is harder for people to keep up with him to use their strength. But it is true about CP3's weak jumper.
And Kidd has looked very different than when he did in last summer's qualifier. His impact on the game is minimal at BEST. More than half the time USA is running isolations for Lebron, Kobe, Wade, and Melo. Kidd looks 1 step slower out there than the rest of team USA and half a step slower than the quick guards of the world
