It was my first time returning to Portland.

Since the trade and my first game playing in Portland

for so many fans, it was a special special moment

in which I remember forever.

I knew it would be exciting.

I knew I would be happy.

I knew the fans would be happy.

But I wasn't sure that I would get that long

of a standing ovation.

I wasn't sure that I would have those types of emotions.

Welcome being a very special guest, Jose Alvarado.

Like this one, I know God is real for me.

How can I end up in the right situation at the right time?

In the right city.

Like I feel like no one is just me.

Like that's in me.

Like I can relate to the city.

A gritty, they fight, but in each other,

like a tornado coming.

Always getting knocked down, but they always come back up.

I just feel like that's how my life has always been.

This game brings a lot of emotions,
