Phoenix Sun guard Jason Kidd keeps opposing NBA teams on their toes. He shoots! He plays tough defense! But most of all he passes. "I try to picture the play before it happens," says Jason.

In the 1997-98 season, Jason was second in the NBA in assists with 9.1 per game. He also tied for the lead in triple-doubles.

Off the court, Jason collects baseball souvenirs. His favorite collectible is a bat signed by Seattle Mariner Ken Griffey Jr.
