In a recent episode of the show “First Take”, Stephen A. Smith, a prominent American sports journalist, radio host, and television personality, made a bold statement by saying that the Minnesota Timberwolves are the new favorites to win the NBA championship. He confidently predicted that the Denver Nuggets would not make it past the second round of the playoffs and that the Timberwolves would advance to the finals of the 2023-24 NBA season.
“They put those brothers under lock and key. That’s what I saw last night. Denver Couldn’t do anything. I have not seen the defense play like that in damn near 35 years. That is how much lock and key Denver was on, and it was like that. I am willing to say this right now: Give my man Big Perk some credit. He talked about Minnesota going to the finals and all of this other stuff. I think the Denver Nuggets are on the verge of getting swept. I never thought in my wildest dreams that it would be able to say that. And I believe that the Minnesota Timberwolves are going to win the world championship. I think they are going to win it all.” Stephen A. Smith said this during the discussion with Shannon Sharpe.
