In a comment that is sure to tick off fans in more than a few NBA cities, New York Knicks center Enes Kanter said in a recent podcast that only five teams have a chance to win the NBA championship next season.
The good news for Philadelphia 76ers fans is they are part of the five.
Kanter made the comment as a guest of the Kentucky Sports Radio’s Aaron Torres Sports Podcast.
Courtesy of Clutch Points, here are the salient quotes:
Besides ticking off people in Toronto, Indiana and Oklahoma City, as well as Knicks fans who probably do not need to hear from one of their own players they have no shot to do anything, Kanter is saying the regular season is only for playoff seeding for the big guns.
