No vacation, but an education for rookie Holiday

ORLANDO – It was 169 days ago from yesterday that Jrue Holiday's NBA career began, or was supposed to begin.

On Oct. 28, Holiday was on the Amway Arena court before the season opener with the Orlando Magic, practicing his jump shot with assistant coach Aaron McKie and looking about as nervous as you'd imagine a 19-year-old to be before his first game as a professional.

Then, about an hour before the game, coach Eddie Jordan gave Holiday the news that he was going to be deactivated for the game. The look on Holiday's face was like that of a child discovering there is no Santa Claus.

"Yeah, I remember I had to use my man Jason Kapono's blazer," Holiday laughed. "It was nice, too. Corduroy, I think."

Holiday can joke about it now, as last night he started his 41st straight game. He has quickly become a veteran of the league and all it entails.

"I didn't really get into it until about Game 50," he said. "I think I'm still ready to go. I could go for a while longer. It's just completely different, though, like going through your whole high school career in one year. But it was fun.

"It's definitely my lifestyle now, but I had to get used to it. I remember my first road trip coming to Orlando, but now flying so many times, the back-to-back game here and there, it's crazy."

His play has gone a long way in showing the Sixers made a good decision in taking him with the 17th pick in last June's draft. He posted a season-high 13 assists in Monday's loss to Miami, has shot 50 percent from the floor over his past 33 games and over the past 15 games - before last night's contest - had posted 12.3 points, 6.9 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals.

The grueling schedule, though, wasn't the toughest part of his rookie season. That would be all the rookie treatment he had to endure.

"I got the hardest year over with, and I'm done with all the rookie stuff they got me doing," he said. "The worst was them [teammates] kicking balls into the stands [during shootarounds] and me having to run up and get them."
