recently expressed in a TV show that he is optimistic about the Lakers completing three consecutive championships. "I think the Lakers have a chance to win three consecutive championships," Smith said. "It's not just defending, but three consecutive championships. I think based on the current format of this season, the Lakers are the biggest favorites to win this season, and everyone else is The second who was pulled a distance. Of course, LeBron will be 36 years old, and he will be 37 years old by then, about to be 38 years old. I think this championship tour will finally end at that time and it will be a three-game winning streak. I think It is entirely possible for the Lakers to achieve three consecutive championships!"
Of course, Smith also said: "I will not say that this is a certainty, because other factors such as injuries may happen, but I can say that the following events are very close to guaranteeing to happen. Yes: The Lakers will win again this season. That's how I see them compared to everyone else. Unless James Harden goes to the Nets. I think the only chance for the other teams to beat the Lakers is for Harden to be traded. Go to the Nets and join Durant and Irving. Besides, I don’t think any team can beat the Lakers this season. I bet on the Lakers, not the rest of the teams!” It seems that Smith is really optimistic about the Lakers. But we all know how difficult it is to win three consecutive championships. In NBA history, only the Celtics, Bulls, and Lakers have achieved three consecutive championships. The Spurs with GDP have not even won a single championship. The combination of Kobe and Gasol only won two championships and lost to the Celtics in 2008. The Big Three of James, Wade and Bosh also lost to the Mavericks and Spurs in 11 and 14 years. Even without Ray Allen's life-saving three-pointer in 13 years, the Big Three would have only one crown!
Even the Warriors, known as the Universe Team, failed to complete their three consecutive championships due to injuries. In the new season, the Lakers will also face challenges from many teams. The Nets led by Durant and the Warriors led by Curry will be strong opponents. The Clippers led by Leonard, the team strength is stronger than last season. Whether James and Davis can lead the Lakers to defeat a lot of good players, successfully defend the title, and even reach three consecutive championships, let us wait and see!
