Honestly, the Carolina games I played in every year were more intense than the national championship games I played in - they had a better environment.
Growing up, I always thought of Detroit as a basketball town because of the Pistons, but everyone says it's really, at its core, a football town.
Some players are criticised for having no loyalty. Well, I wanted to go back home and play for the club I supported. I don't think that's a crime.
In California, especially Northern California, the fans really cheer for me.
Growing up I was a Cleveland Browns fan and my mood would change based on how they were playing. If they were losing I wasn't as happy, I wasn't as excited, I was a little sad.
In previous experiences of being in the All-Star Games, you know, seeing the hometown players and how the fans get behind the hometown players, it's always been a special moment just watching that from afar and being on the other side.
The home games, that's really where you can see everything - every game is packed. No matter if it's like a game we're going to win by a lot or a close game - everybody's here. The fans cheer the same way and it's great. That's really what I can say about Duke.
I love playing in Chicago, and the fans have been great to me.
The Kings played out of the Memorial Community Centre, an old wooden barn like you'd see in other Prairie towns. It was built after World War II and the Kings were the biggest thing in town. The Memorial was packed for every game - maybe 3,000 when we'd play the Kenora Muskies or other rival towns. It seemed like everyone in town came out to games.
Philly fans are more emotional, but the Buffalo fans are a bigger crowd I think.
It's pretty cool just to see the support we have. It's unmatched, Kansas City and the Chiefs Kingdom, the support they have for us. For me to just kind of be in the community and see those people is always a good thing.
Bears fans... man... I could not have chosen a better place to make my first stop outside of North Carolina.
I liked Cleveland, they got so much heart in that arena.
India buzzes for its players and that makes you feel special.
I'm a Mariners fan! I'm from Seattle, so I'm all about the Mariners and the Seahawks.
It is important that when you play at home in front of your own fans, not to lose and to always try and win, to always give your all.
When you play at home, you want the fans behind you, and you must give them something back.
In a way, it's like I want to come here, I want to play for the home team and put a Lakers jersey on. That's always going to be something that I want to fulfill.
You need to win your home games and that's what gets the crowd behind you.
I guess what I'm really saying is something obvious - that there's a unique pride in watching a home team from rival turf, especially when we're not supposed to be any good.
When you are playing in front of your own crowd, you want them to support you.
When we root-root-root for the home team, we're rooting for our home as much as the team.
