I gave it my best shot, tried to have the best rookie year I could.

I think to be great, you have to prove that you're the best year after year after year and show that by winning. I think that's something you have to earn. You have to prove that. I don't really think about it. I think that's something that's too far ahead for me.

My rookie year, I was very immature.

It's a good feeling. I haven't been able to do that since my rookie year and maybe then I didn't realize how important it was.

It hasn't gotten to the point where it was like my rookie year, where we were getting booed every game, but it's definitely something we have to correct. It's just something we haven't done. We have to play a lot better on the home court -- that's the bottom line.

He's by far, I think, the best rookie this season. And he's going to be a great player for a long time.
