The New York Knicks are a likable team with a real chance to contend for a title, making them the epicenter story of the 2023–24 NBA season. NBA insiders are shocked by Stephen A. Smith‘s audacious prediction that the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics will face off in the Eastern Conference Finals. Smith, who is well-known for his fervent and sometimes contentious opinions, expressed hope in the Knicks’ revival under head coach, Tom Thibodeau in his declaration.

Due to their excellent all-around play, the Boston Celtics have been the greatest team in the NBA this season; nonetheless, New York remains one of the few teams that they match up well against. The Celtics have won 17 championships, but they haven’t won a single one in the last 13 years. However, their current position atop the Eastern Conference indicates that their chances of winning again are very good.

It's coming down to Boston and the New York Knicks in the conference finals. Milwaukee's going down. Cleveland's going down. New York Knicks will meet the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.

He also talked about the Milwaukee Bucks going down. Still, the Bucks are 3rd in the position with a lot of talent. But The Knicks still have a strong team that is producing results right away.

Smith is hopeful about the Knicks because of their ability to be competitive in a difficult Eastern Conference and their recent personnel changes. As proof of the team’s dedication to success, he cites the signings of important players like OG Anunoby, Alec Burks, and Bojan Bogdanovic.

Stephen A Smith calls out Kevin Durant for his decision to leave the Warriors

The Golden State Warriors were about to lose against the Phoenix Suns when Stephen Curry made a trademark shot. With 0.7 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Curry’s buzzer-beater basket enabled the Dubs to win by a slim margin of 113–112. Stephen Curry’s former Golden State colleague, Kevin Durant, who suffered the loss, was the target of some harsh words from Stephen A. Smith.

Stephen A Smith said, 

When I saw Stephen Curry hitting that shot, I said to myself. That's who you elected to leave. And it makes me wonder if Kevin Durant will ever be the champion because that guy is not your teammate.

He referred Stephen Curry over here and mentioned Durant not winning any chip with Curry.

Coincidentally, since leaving the Warriors in 2019, Durant could not win an NBA Championship. However, without KD on the lineup in 2022, Curry led the Dubs to a championship. People in the NBA community are beginning to doubt KD’s legacy as the head coach of a championship team in light of these recent incidents.
