I am a diehard Seahawks fan because I'm born and raised in Seattle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I can't say anything I don't love about Seattle.
If it's football season, all things sort of stop. I'm from Seattle, so I'll watch the Seahawks and whatever other game that day is worthy.
When I played in the NBA for 12 years, Seattle had some of the best fans in the NBA.
I'm a Kansas City kid, so I love my Royals and Chiefs. I went to the University of Kansas, so I love the Jayhawks. But I live in L.A., so I'm a fan of the Dodgers.
Seattle has shaped me in a lot of ways.
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 lived in Wisconsin for a while, so I keep my eyes on the Packers. I grew up in San Diego, so there's the Chargers, but outside of that, I'm really kind of lame because I don't have a specific team I pull for.
I'm a lifelong Vikings and Packers fan because I lived in both Minnesota and Wisconsin as a kid.
I loved growing up in Washington, but I have been a diehard, 100 percent 49ers fan since I was 11.
That whole rivalry with the fans is not something that I can pay attention to right now. This is my new home, and whatever I can do to help out Seattle is what I need to do.
