Ok, more titles, I could see that being an answer of a bandwagon fan for sure, or a reg fan, either or. However, if you were born and raised in NOLA and a fan since day 1, how wouldn't AD winning 1 ring alone not be more satisfying than winning 1 extra ring BUT with the help of another superstar (KD). I could honestly say I would lean towards 1 ring with OUR GUY, and our guy only. You can add another solid player to this team to make it feel just as good im just saying I think it would feel better if AD wins us 1 alone as the only superstar as opposed to KD helping him with that, that's why I added another 1 championship with the option of Kevin Durant bc that would obviously increase the odds of winning 1 more.

If KD would choose to come to New Orleans, he'd be "our guy", too.

Do you think Boston fans would trade in a few titles and dump McHale or Parish from the legacy to make Larry more Legendary? There are probably a few who would but most Celtics fans would react to them like we're reacting to you.

This sort of mentality is a large part of what sucks about sports fans. You want something "pure," and you draw some arbitrary line based off of a bullshite conception of what constitutes purity. You think that there is somehow a way that AD could single handedly carry the Pelicans to a championship.

There's no such thing as a single player single handedly carrying an entire team to a championship in most team sports. If there is then that sport or league is broken. Jordan never did it. Montana never did it. Gretzky never did it. They all get more credit than they really deserve. That's the nature of the beast. The criticism of Lebron needing to form a super team to win a championship is just a bull shite, arbitrary excuse to discredit him made up by people who were looking for a reason to dislike him anyway.
