Skip Bayless, the host of Undisputed on Fox Sports, made a bold NBA Finals prediction during his show on Friday morning.
Joined by Keyshawn Johnson and NBA legend Paul Pierce, Bayless discussed the upcoming NBA Playoffs and ultimately predicted that the Los Angeles Lakers would triumph over the Boston Celtics in the Finals.
“Here’s my take—I’ve been a fan of this Lakers team from the very beginning. I’ve always said they’d make it to the Finals to face your Celtics, Paul. And I truly believe they’re going to win because, in my view, they’re simply the better team,” Bayless confidently told Pierce.
He further emphasized his point by highlighting the prowess of Anthony Davis: “Anthony Davis can be the best player in the league on any given night, and you know that. I expect him to dominate these playoffs, he’s been showing that potential all season.”
