Just when people thought they were far gone, the Golden State Warriors proved that they were alive and well. After two years of missing the playoffs, the Splash Brothers and the dynasty are back to there they belong: the NBA Finals.
Some analysts predicted they would go back to championship contention once they were at full strength. And barring injury, it doesnāt seem like things will go any different for the foreseeable future.
Thatās why ESPNās Stephen A. Smith believes Stephen Curry has a strong chance to retire with more NBA championships than LeBron James, as the Warriors will be in the mix for another title next season.
Stephen A. Smith Predicts Warriors Will Win Two More Rings
āWhat do you think the Warriors are going to be doing, sitting there and taking pictures? I think theyāll make some adjustments as well,ā Smith said.āI see the Warriors winning 2 of the next 3 titles. Iām thinking about Stephen Curry, Iām thinking about Klay Thompson, Iām thinking about Draymond.ā
āBut Iām also thinking about Jordan Poole, Iām thinking about Jordan Poole, yes Iām going to bring up James Wisemanā¦ I like their chancesā¦ Iām looking at the Golden State Warriors being at least 8 deep,ā Smith added.āAnd I see this teamā¦ Iām willing to say the Golden State Warriors are winning 2 of the next 3 titles. I believe Steph Curry will eclipse LeBron James and capture 5 championships in his career, while LeBron is still stuck on 4.ā
Of course, itās not like the Dubs are champions already. They need to get through the Boston Celtics first, and that wonāt be a cakewalk. But, regardless of what happens in the Finals, they do have a better, more competitive core than the Lakers, at least for the time being.
