I'm so blessed to have a chance to play 15 years in one spot. I know my position is different than most. But even in my position, guys that have played it this long, have probably already been with two or three different teams.
I didn't want to be like some other guys who jump on another team's bandwagon just to get a ring.
I don't want to be jumping from team to team.
It has been a useful experience to play for several different teams and move around.
I have gone from a player who thought he would spend his whole career with one organization to a player who's been with three organizations in a week. It's like rotisserie baseball.
I lived in New York for 10 years; I followed the Rangers. Now I live in L.A. I want to adopt a team. I'm always going to be a Kansas City Chiefs and Royals fan. I want to adopt a team in a new town, so I've adopted the Kings.
When MRMC vows that “We will turn Knicks fans into Nets fans,” I have to say, it’s not totally farfetched.
My normal is craziness - moving around and jumping from team to team and having to get used to different guys in a short period of time.
Obviously, I don't want to play on a different team than Washington.
People change teams all the time. People might not go from Green Bay to Chicago or from Chicago to Green Bay all the time, but people change teams all the time.
The ability of players to jump teams when their contracts are up has hurt fan loyalty.
