NO on Top

From ESPN:

'"O'Neal, a former LSU star, was cheered during introductions and said he was happy to see a big crowd. "It's coming along," O'Neal said of New Orleans' recovery from Hurricane Katrina. "Business is picking back up, downtown is nice, All-Star (weekend) was a success and in a couple more years New Orleans will be right back on top, where it used to be."'

On top of the nation's murder stats?
