\u201cGood evening everyone, it\u2019s Sonny. I hope you haven\u2019t forgotten me \u2014 I\u2019m still around. These ten years have been unbelievable. Thank you. I\u2019ll always be Spurs, this will always feel like home, and I\u2019ll never forget you. Please come to LA whenever you like. I love you all. Come on you Spurs!\u201d he said (TNT Sports).<\/p>\n
