Winning the Rookie of the Year would be nice but making the playoffs would be even nicer for me.
As an organization, would we like to be in a better spot Everybody would like to know they're in the playoffs. But that's not a reality, year after year being in a playoff spot with 10, 12, 15 games left. We don't have that this year, so our playoffs have started.
When I was a rookie, what motivated me was trying to win Rookie of the Year and play the best that I could that I would compete so hard.
There are a lot of things that you learn as a rookie and you grow the most, I would say as a rookie from your first year to your second year.
I think I would be bored if I were winning all the time, even though it would be nice.
Well, of course you question it, especially when you get to this point. I always look at it would I rather not make the playoffs or lose in The Finals? I don't know. I don't know. I've missed the playoffs twice. I lost in The Finals four times. I'm almost starting to be like I'd rather not even make the playoffs than to lose in The Finals. It would hurt a lot easier if I just didn't make the playoffs and I didn't have a shot at it.
It would have been harder for me to get rookie of the year in Cleveland than it would've been in Minnesota.
Every year is a new year, and when you look at the turnover year to year, teams that made the playoffs last year aren't a guarantee to make the playoffs this year.
I would like to be in the playoffs. I would hope that there is some opportunity to go and play in the playoffs. Those are the best games, the most fun for sure, and you have a chance to win.
I remember when I first got into the league, I thought how it would be nice to have a year when you were the best. That means your team is probably winning.
Winning the Super Bowl would be way more special than the rookie rushing record.
It would be easier if I didn't even make the playoffs, it would hurt less. But then I start thinking about how much fun it is.
I would go after any rookie. Any rookie with a lot of hype. I used to do it to Jason Kidd. I would go at him. I'd be like, 'Young fella, you're going to get a rude awakening in the NBA.'
For sure, 2010 was the best year I've ever had. It couldn't have gone any better for me. Even if I just won the Olympic gold medal, that would have made it the best year of my career and the best day of my life, period. Winning the World Cup races and the overall title just topped it off.
I was really, really stagnating and getting bored in the steady work of television and didn't really know what movies I would be making that Hollywood would be making, and then I went on to 'Game of Thrones,' and it was just like, everything I've been waiting to do was handed to me by really nice people.
For me, I spent four years at Duke, and I was 22 my rookie year. For a lot of guys, I was old as a rookie, but nothing could prepare me for the NBA, both on the court and off the court.
I know winning 20 is a special kind of thing, but I'd rather get into the playoffs, and be strong for the playoffs.
