Stephen A Smith on the Lakers: Is he right?

I don’t know if they can or not, they’re already piling up injuries. I don’t think race will be the reason they don’t, though.
He’s “never seen it”. I guess he wasn’t alive in 1986.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been one of the NBA's best teams to start the season, winning six straight games behind Luka Doncic. But Stephen A. Smith still isn't buying them as a championship contender for a rather bizarre reason: their top players are all white.
This week, the ESPN star claimed that he wasn't sold on the Lakers winning a championship, pointing to the race of their top players. Smith said that he has "never seen an NBA team with its top three players being white" win a championship, and that "it ain't gonna happen" this year.

Of course he's focused on race. I hope he's proven wrong for that reason alone, but talentwise I just don't think they have enough to win it all.

He has more of a chance being right that they won't win it all (only one team gets to win, after all) than not. If/when they don't win his racist arse will just point and yell, "I TOLT YA!!!!".
Quality depth beyond 10/11 will be their biggest hurdle. They can't trust the end of their bench with a 20+ point lead and 4 minutes left. They've collapsed twice already, last night being -13 in three and a half minutes or so. Austin Reaves went out, then Sexton butted heads and opened up a cut. That made Luka have to come back in because they don't really have another decent ball handler.

What if a white guy said that about a starting hockey lineup that was mostly black players? He would be fired

The funny thing, people talking like this about whites and blacks and inherent ability … evolution doesn’t stop at the neck, genetics are real, intelligence is real, the brain is a physical organ … do they really want to go down this path?
Because there are statistics, though it makes many uncomfortable.

Didn’t Nikola Jokic win a championship and MVP?

This guy has lost it completely. Lakers are a great team but winning a championship is about getting hot in the playoffs. The knicks were on fire last season. ESPN is trash for not cutting this idiot.

I’m gonna put it on trolling for clicks. No matter what you think of him, he’s really good at this.

This a thing now?
Regardless, the NBA is getting more "white" now with all the Europeans who are really good so it will trend more that way moving forward

I’m just sitting here with my eyes closed, imagining the backlash if someone would say an NFL team wouldn’t win a Super Bowl because their quarterback was black
This double standard bullshite has got to stop
