Traditionally, Seattle has been a great sports town and great football town. What the Huskies have achieved over the years has been pretty amazing. That's how I got my first taste of football - when I went with my father to Husky Stadium.

I can't say anything I don't love about Seattle.

When I played in the NBA for 12 years, Seattle had some of the best fans in the NBA.

Seattle is very similar to Minneapolis. I like the culture; I like the people. I raced a bike and won a national championship on Lake Washington in 1977, so I've had a connection there for a long time.

It's still fun to come to games, and it's still fun to be in the Seattle crowd.

I have a fond place in my heart for Seattle, so I hope that an NBA team comes back to this great city, this great sports city.

I once saw professional soccer up there in Seattle, the Sounders. I went and saw that. I'm not a big soccer fan, but watching a live game is unbelievable. And then I went to Italy and saw a soccer match; it's something everyone should do once. It'll blow your mind.

Seattle has shaped me in a lot of ways.

My wife and I just prefer Seattle. It's a beautiful city. Great setting. You open your front door in the morning and the air smells like pine and the sea, as opposed to bus exhaust.

I love downtown Seattle. It's a city that has all of the outdoor activities and is still a very cosmopolitan city.
