For those of you who watch First Take on ESPN, Stephen A. Smith often talks about how Kevin Durant has ruined the NBA. He claims that the Warriors will meet the Cleveland Cavaliers in the finals and the Warriors will ultimately win. Personally, I respectfully disagree with Stephen A. Smith and everyone else who believes this to be true.

I get that the Warriors look like that can’t be touched leading the NBA in assists per game by a land slide. They share the ball better than any NBA team. I get that sometimes they spread the floor with shooters that simply just do not miss. I get that their defense is much better than it was expected to be. There is no doubt that this is a super team and they should win the NBA Championship with ease.

But for everyone who looks at this and says it is a forgone conclusion; I say to you that you are crazy. This is Sports people!! The game is not won on paper. Who is to say that The Spurs and coach Pop (best NBA coach ever in my eyes) can’t find a way to beat them in the Western Conference finals. Who says that the Cavaliers don’t make a blockbuster trade and defend their crown. (cough cough knicks are trying to trade Melo). Bulls might trade their whole god damn team. Jimmy Butler to the Cavs?? What if Wade went to Cleveland and teamed up with Lebron again. How about these up-starred Celtics? They are much better than anyone thought they would be. They are a piece away from being true contenders. What if a star for the Warriors goes down to injury?

I get it, they are favorites to win it all. I mean let’s be real; they should be. I am just saying this is sports people! The NBA season is not ruined and anyone who says that is crazy in my eyes. It is not easy to win an NBA Championship. Even when you are the best team on paper so much has to go your way. Call me crazy but you heard it first here. This kid is taking the field in the 2017 NBA playoffs over the Warriors.
