You dont. The thing is, fans rip you if you arent loyal to a city....but then if you stay there and that city doesnt win a title, no one makes an exception for you because of your loyalty.  Great players dont typically stay on the Clippers. Its not about being loyal, its about wanting to win. And if it isnt happening in City X....move to City Y that wants to make it happen.


Here's a excerp from an article written by J.A. Adande from ESPN about the delusion of fans expecting players to stay loyal to their city instead of trying to win a championship...

People want loyalty, as if that's going to cover things. Just imagine if LeBron spent an entire, title-free career in Cleveland. In 25 years, when the greats are gathered for a tribute to the all-time legends, the chatter could go like this:

"Hey, it's Tim Duncan, four-time champion."
"Look, it's Kobe, wearing all five of his rings."
"There's LeBron ... he was ... loyal."
Awkward silence.
"Have you seen KG?"


Don't ask James to be loyal if you won't grant him an exception to the ring rule.

LeBron REALLY wanted Kidd, didn't get him. Mike Brown is worse at calling or drawing offensive plays than I am. Mike Brown has never had the balls to call LeBron out for anything. Now with great teammates and a good coach, LeBron will stomp on the league and the Lakers.
