OT: Steven A Smith Picks Wrong Team To Win Title Six Years in a Row

[e_blazer]

At least he's consistent:

Maybe people should stop listening to him... hopefully that would make that fool go away.

 

[Strenuus]

File this under: not surprised

 

[Boob-No-More]

That's hilarious, but also not at all unexpected. Is there a bigger idiot in all of sports broadcasting/journalism?

Oh please dear god, do NOT let that fool be our new color commentator.

I can hear it now....

"I have no idea what the Blazes are doing"
"Kevin, pass me the cheese puffs"

 

[noknobs]

That's almost impressive. You'd think he'd get at least one right on accident.

 

[TBpup]

Not a surprise at all. He blathers more to get a reaction than to be correct or informative. The Clownzano of TV.

Yeah, the funny thing is LeBron has been on the East side in every one of those finals. It's not like he's seeing some big new unknown every year. It's always LeBron and his friends against the best in the West. Even if he'd just picked for, or against, LeBron every time, he'd be batting 0.500. You'd almost have to try REALLY hard to get it wrong every time. Unless, of course, you are just plain stupid. Guess that explains that.

Easy pattern:
2011 - SUPERFRIENDS!! Greatest story ever! Surely Lebron will win
2012 - Lebron let me down last year, so I can't pick him
2013 - Lebron winning in 2012 was a fluke. These are the Spurs. He can't beat the Spurs.
2014 - Lebron beat the Spurs last year, so OBVIOUSLY he'll beat them again!
2015 - NEW SUPERFRIENDS!! Greatest story ever! Surely Lebron will win (for Cleveland)
2016 - Lebron lost to the Warriors last year, so OBVIOUSLY he'll lose to them again!

I have been wrong each year, the last five years

You may have a future in sports analysis.

That's how I read it too.

Probably not. I don't think my analyst was at work every year and I can't imagine making him work that regular. Sometimes I just pull for what I want,
too hell with analysis.

Interestingly enough Mike Rice has been right for the last 4 years.

Interestingly enough Mike Rice has been right for the last 4 years.

So being right doesn't pay.

We'll have to scour the local taverns to find his prediction next year.

 

[handiman]

Just the opposite. With a track record like his, people should keep listening to him...and put their money on the team he doesn't pick.

 

[Nikolokolus]

He doesn't get paid to be right, he gets paid to be entertaining and controversial . . . one out of two ain't bad.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Don't care for this guy. Don't listen to him. Don't care he was wrong. Probably why I don't listen to him. I don't like angry yelling announcers.
He is one of the worst in the game if you ask me.

 

[Spud147]

I'd hate it if he was actually completely gone. Half of the fun of watching the NBA draft is listening to the Knicks fans brutally heckle him while he's trying to talk.

Yesterday, he said LeBron may leave Cavs again to go to either Miami or Lakers. They were talking about it on the radio all day here in LA.

So, with Steven A's track record, I guess that means LeBron's going to retire as a Cav.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I will say...out of those 6 years, only last year's was obvious. (Because of the injuries) You could make a case for either team the other 5 years IMO.

Of all of the local media expects and reporters only Rice picked Golden State. The start of the 2014-15 season had the Warriors at 20-1 for winning the championship.
