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.

So what will he say after Indiana slipped from No. 4 to No.
