“Ima roll with the Warriors”: Stephen A. Smith backs Stephen Curry to win another NBA championship before LeBron James, Kevin Durant

NBA broadcaster Stephen A. Smith has revealed reasons behind backing Stephen Curry to win another NBA title ahead of LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

All three are regarded as the best players of this generation and they have been dominating the NBA for a long period of time.

Smith was recently quoted in a report where he stated reasons behind backing the Golden State Warriors, for whom Curry plays, to win the NBA championship ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns.

“Ima roll with the Warriors on this question,” said Smith. “The Warriors, I said it. I didn’t stutter, and Ima tell you why. ‘Cause I don’t think the Lakers can shoot well enough, and ultimately that’s what it’s going to come down to.”

“I think Phoenix is compromised somewhat defensively. I can’t trust them defensively, and I think that’s ultimately what it comes down to. K.D., [Devin] Booker and Bradley Beal, ‘Lethal Weapon 3’ no doubt about it, but they’ve got something to prove. I gotta to see it.

“I’ve got news for you: We all know how I feel about KD, one of the greatest scorers in the history of this game, a two-time champion, a two-time NBA Finals MVP. He ain’t been out of the semifinals since he left Golden State. That’s just a fact.”

“Now we get to the Golden State Warriors. Steph Curry is still the greatest shooter God ever created. We saw this Saturday night in that 3-point shooting contest. It’s just what he does. It’s just what he does. We’ve got that going on.

“Jonathan Kuminga has elevated his level of play, his 3-point shooting, his field-goal percentage shooting. He gets it now. And his athleticism is off the charts. Draymond Green has upped the ante. Defensively they’ve really stepped up. Klay Thompson comes off the bench for the first time in years, drops 35.”
