When I played in the NBA for 12 years, Seattle had some of the best fans in the NBA.
I know I can catch the football. That's the least of my worries.
I think that New York is the city of all cities. There is so much diversity there. I also like that when I go there, I can catch a play or musical and see some of the most talented people practicing their craft.

The injury really limited his lateral movement and explosiveness.
