Stephen A. Smith On The L.A. Lakers: "They Are Not The Front Runners, That Would Happen To Be The Brooklyn Nets."

«The Los Angeles Lakers are not the front runners, that would happen to be the Brooklyn Nets,» Stephen A. said. «That being said, I fully expect the Lakers to meet them in the NBA finals. And how will they come together? It's very, very simple. LeBron James is one of the top two players on the planet. AD is one of the top five players on the planet. Russell Westbrook is a superstar and that three-headed monster, along with some of the pickups, Carmelo Anthony, Malik Monk. People like that, they are built for the postseason.»
