The fact that he's effective doesn't mean that there's no mileage on the body. And remember, here's someone who had microfracture surgery done on his knee a few years ago.

He rarely attacks the basket, he rarely puts a ton of energy on defense, and he he is the one throwing the passes while everyone is running up the court to get it for a shot. Oh and now he is good enough 3 point shooter now to be effective without having to slash. At the end of games, he does put a lot of energy into but he reserves it early on. Beaubois and Devin Harris are guys that don't reserve energy. 30 minutes for them is like 40 minutes for Kidd.
