We're just a few short days away from the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers renewing hostilities in the Eastern Conference finals and ESPN's Stephen A. Smith is working himself into quite a lather over it. Appearing on First Take Monday morning, the pundit took things in several different directions with one main theme connecting them all: how excited his is for big-time basketball to be back in the Big Apple.
Asked to look into a crystal ball, Smith believes there is a 40% chance his Knicks win the NBA championship, which is a number not based on anything but the gut of one clearly partisan human being. So don't take it as gospel.
