Former San Francisco Giants star Buster Posey said the "state of the city" was an issue as the team tried to court free agents. Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley made a crack to Reggie Miller that the city was filled with a "bunch of homeless crooks." Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green pushed back on the remark.

Green’s teammate, Kevon Looney, said the fans have been nothing but great since the team moved from the Oracle Arena in Oakland to the Chase Center in San Francisco.

"My experience has been really good," Looney told Fox News Digital. "The fans have been great. The playoff run last year was amazing. The fans always sell out. They show up and support us. They still show us a lot of love."

Looney admitted that every city has its "dark side," but he is still a fan of the sights and sounds of the city and loves it when he gets to take his parents around town.
