Kenny Smith: ‘If Magic Had LeBron’s Athleticism, He’d Still Be Playing Today’
Kenny Smith is an integral part of TNT’s Inside The NBA, and a key part of his success is his willingness to speak his mind. A two-time NBA champion, Smith is perfect in his role next to Charles Barkley, but he also adds a phenomenal perspective of the game.
A major talking point following the Miami Heat’s Game 3 win against the Los Angeles Lakers has been Jimmy Butler’s dominance. Though Smith was impressed with Butler’s outstanding performance, he found the difference in Game 3 was the Heat’s ability to keep the Lakers contained on the perimeter. As the series moves to Game 4 on Tuesday, Smith believes that Miami possesses all the pieces necessary to even the series.
