As every Nets fan knows, Jason Kidd has been team captain since he stepped on the court in 2001. Kidd has also been an Olympic tri-captain and an All-Star captain. Now, it looks increasingly like he will be the team leader in Las Vegas--and probably Beijing--for Team USA. And it's not just because he is the oldest and most experienced player dressed in red, white and blue. Meanwhile, USA Basketball released the complete television schedule for the Americas Cup. More than 40 games will be broadcast.
