Smith declared ‘you ain’t going anywhere with three White dudes’ while questioning the Lakers’ revamped roster
ESPN host Stephen A. Smith says the Los Angeles Lakers have too many White guys to succeed in the NBA.
On Wednesday, he mocked the team’s trade for Walker Kessler, pairing him with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
“Where the hell the Los Angeles Lakers think they are going with a bunch of White dudes?” he asked on his podcast. “Your three top players are White dudes. Really? This is basketball.”
He then asked, “In NBA history, when has a team led by three White dudes ever gone to the promised land? Somebody gotta say it.”
To answer his question: Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Danny Ainge.
