In the NBA finals, Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors displayed what they are capable of and won game-2. This ties the series at 1-1. In “The Rich Eisen Show”, Los Angeles Lakers fan O’Shea Jackson said that Boston Celtics cannot win the NBA finals.

Even though the Celtics are a great team, not many expected them to win game-1 in the Chase Center. It was mainly because the Warriors had not lost a single game in their backyard during this year’s playoffs.

But the Celtics beat the odds and made a remarkable comeback to win the game. Jayson Tatum and Al Horford were instrumental in beating the Warriors. But the Celtics struggled throughout game-2 and it was a comfortable win for the Warriors.

Then Eisen wanted to know whether Jackson was supporting the Warriors. Jackson said, “I’m rooting for California. You know, my, back when I was a Kobe-loving LeBron-hater I was really into Warriors basketball during the finals. So the Warriors don’t bother me. You are working on your 7th title, that’s cute. Seventh! I don’t even know when my 7th was. But you know, it happens. So they pose no threat. Those Leprechauns, can’t do it.”

Of course, a Laker fan wouldn’t want the Celtics to win the Finals. The Lakers and the Celtics have won 17 NBA titles each. The two are the most successful teams in the history of the NBA. And their rivalry only makes it better.
