So, we know this is a pretty big night for New Orleans. The Hornets become the first NBA team in the city to move into the second round. Rather, the first NBA team in the city to move out of the first round.

What we don't know is this: Where does this accomplishment fall in comparison to the sports history of New Orleans?

Is it as big as the Saints clinching the division and an NFC playoff win over Philadelphia in 2006?

Is it as big as LSU winning the BCS Championship game in either 2008 or 2004?

It's your turn to talk, New Orleans. Tell us where this achievement sits.

To me it comes down to winning championships, playing in championship games or advancing toward championship games. When the Hornets continue to win, they can move up in my rankings.
